Seguin Number Boards II, 11-99

The Seguin Number Boards II, 11-99, offer children the opportunity to concretely understand the decimal system and practice composing and recognizing numbers in the correct order. This high-quality Montessori material, consisting of two wooden boards with number slots and corresponding wooden number cards, provides a solid foundation for learning numbers above ten.

The Seguin Number Boards II are specifically designed to help children understand the structure of tens, practice composing numbers, and recognize the order of numbers. The two wooden boards each have nine slots numbered from 10 to 90. Children practice counting upwards by sliding the number cards from 1 to 9 into these slots, forming numbers from 11 to 99. This not only helps children master the concept of quantities and symbols above ten but also facilitates the transition from concrete number sequences to abstract numerals.

Working with the Seguin Number Boards II follows the mastery of the Seguin Number Boards I (11-19), which are available separately. With this exercise, the child strengthens their understanding of the decimal system, and this material provides excellent preparation for more complex math skills. Additionally, knowledge is transferred to abstract concepts, laying the foundation for further mathematical insight.

The wooden storage box, including the two Seguin boards and 18 number cards, is not only durable and of high quality but also practical to use. The included method, in which the cards are slid into the slots in the correct order, can easily be enhanced with additional materials like the ten bars and unit beads (sold separately) for added clarification and practice.

With this material, the child develops important skills such as order, coordination, concentration, and independence, essential for both their mathematical and overall development.
