Bank Game for Multiplication and Decimal System Mastery

The Bank Game is a valuable educational tool designed to help children deepen their understanding of multiplication with large numbers. This Montessori-inspired game encourages mastery of numbers up to one million and enhances comprehension of the decimal system. The game specifically develops skills in multiplying 3- and 4-digit numbers, without requiring additional tools like a calculator. Younger children or beginners can use the golden bead material for extra support.

Designed for group learning, the Bank Game allows several children to play simultaneously, making it perfect for classroom or therapeutic environments. The key roles within the game include the banker, exchanger, and calculator, each contributing to solving multiplication problems. This encourages not only collaboration but also individual mental math and familiarity with large numbers.

Ideal for children looking to advance their math skills, the Bank Game promotes both multiplication and a deeper understanding of the decimal system. It’s a versatile tool suitable for educators and therapists aiming to support children’s mathematical development.

The game consists of a sturdy wooden storage box, crafted from beech and birch plywood, containing an extensive set of number cards for representing numbers and performing calculations. The cards are made from durable polypropylene (PP) and are color-coded to distinguish between different numerical values such as units, tens, hundreds, and thousands.

This educational tool provides children with a playful yet effective way to develop advanced arithmetic skills, encouraging both independent and group learning. Teachers, therapists, and caregivers can easily monitor the child’s progress and offer guidance as needed.

The dimensions of the wooden storage box are approximately 27 x 25 x 2.5 cm, and the number plates measure about 2.7 x 2.7 cm, making the game compact, yet clear and user-friendly.
