Montessori Box with Tens and Units Beads

The "Box with Tens and Units Beads, Loose Beads" is an essential Montessori material for children ready to elevate their understanding of numbers. This beautifully crafted wooden box is designed to help children better grasp the numbers 11 to 99 by associating them with physical quantities. The goal is to teach children to associate quantities with numbers while also gaining an understanding of the sequence of numbers.

When a child is familiar with counting up to 10, it's time to introduce this next step. The box contains 9 golden tens and 9 golden units, all provided loose to offer maximum flexibility during the learning process. The box itself is made from durable beech wood with a birch plywood lid, making the material sturdy and long-lasting.

One side of the box holds the golden tens, while the other side features a special wooden stand to neatly present the loose units. By using these materials, the child experiences a tangible process of forming numbers. This process supports the understanding of quantities and the sequence of numbers from 11 to 99, which is a fundamental step in developing their arithmetic skills.

This activity offers multiple learning opportunities, such as assigning and associating numbers between 11 and 99 and linking quantities to these numbers. The dimensions of the box are approximately 12 x 12 x 3 cm, with tens measuring around 70 x 7 mm and a wooden stand of 10.3 x 2.3 cm. This product includes:

• 1 box with 2 compartments, made of beech wood
