The Hundred Chain is an engaging and educational tool that helps children understand and internalize the concept of large numbers. This counting material makes it easy for children to visualize numbers in higher number ranges and teaches them how to handle large quantities by simply counting. With the Hundred Chain, children can count ten sets of ten beads, discovering that 10 x 10 equals one hundred. This insight provides a solid foundation for understanding larger numbers and supports their mathematical development.
For additional visual support, the Hundred Chain can be compared with the separately available Hundred Square. Together, they provide a clear picture of the number landscape up to 100 and help reinforce number concepts. Moreover, the Hundred Chain can be hung in combination with the separately available Thousand Chain on a specially designed hanging system, giving children an even better understanding of the relationships between numbers. For practical setup on the floor, there is also a special mat available on which the chain, approximately 94 cm long, can be fully extended.
The educational benefits of the Hundred Chain are numerous. Children not only learn to count large numbers but also to estimate them, further refining their sense of quantities and numbers. Additionally, the chain enhances orientation within the number range up to 100 and provides excellent practice in addition and subtraction. The chain consists of loose plastic beads, each about 7 mm in diameter, strung on a metal wire with loops at the ends, ensuring durability and ease of use.
With the Hundred Chain, children explore the world of numbers through play and build a solid foundation for further mathematical skills. It is an indispensable tool in any educational setting, from primary schools to special education institutions.
