Addition Snake Game

The Addition Snake Game is a Montessori tool designed to help children learn to add in a visual and tactile way. This game is created to introduce young learners to addition logically by using colorful beads. The goal is for children to better understand addition by creating a physical representation of the number process, where numbers 1 through 10 are represented by colored bead sticks, laid out on the table to form an equation.

The game starts by adding different numbers, with the children counting in sets of 10. Each time they reach 10, the colored bead stick is replaced by a golden rod, symbolizing a complete set of 10. This process is repeated until there are no more full 10s left, and the remaining beads are replaced with black-and-white exchange beads. Once all colored beads are exchanged, the sum is complete, allowing the children to visually verify their calculation.

The strength of this material lies in learning by doing: children work with their hands while simultaneously grasping mathematical concepts like crossing tens and utilizing the power of 5. Learning is thus encouraged in a playful manner.

The Addition Snake Game comes with three colored wooden boxes that fit neatly into a wooden tray, where the various bead sticks can be sorted and stored: golden rods for the tens, colored rods for the individual numbers, and black-and-white beads for the exchange. The material is durable, made from solid beech wood and high-quality plastic beads.

With the Addition Snake Game, children learn:

• Logical addition using bead material
• Crossing tens through counting
• Recognizing the structure of tens by completing sets of 10
• Utilizing the power of 5, improving calculation speed

This game is ideal for use in classrooms, daycare centers, or at home, helping children develop their math skills through play.
