Mo077 - Montessori small bead frame

The Montessori Small Bead Frame is a math material designed to help children explore the decimal system and arithmetic operations through hands-on experience. With four rows of colored beads representing units, tens, hundreds, and thousands, it guides children in understanding the hierarchy and relationships within numbers.

By sliding the beads along the wires, children transition from concrete counting to abstract mathematical thinking—building a solid foundation for addition and subtraction.

This material encourages logical reasoning, hand-eye coordination, and concentration, making math a meaningful and visual experience.
