Found Montessori Math Beads

The Equivalent Figure Material is an important component of the Montessori educational approach, designed to introduce children to the concept of equivalence that leads to the discovery of area and theorems.

By manipulating the pieces and observing their relationships, children can discover that shapes with different sizes can still be considered equivalent. This understanding lays the foundation for later mathematical concepts such as fractions, ratios, and proportions.

The Equivalent Figure Material consists of 13 green metal frames with bottoms and red insets.
 

18 wooden beads in six vibrant colors and four shapes combine with one lace and a wooden needle for threading activities. Wooden tray with cutout handles is included.

Promotes hand-eye coordination, fine motor, cognitive and visual perception skills.

Cube Dimensions: 1.33" x 1.33" x 1.33" (3.4 cm x 3.4 cm x 3.4 cm).

Tray Dimensions:  9.5 " x 8 " x 1.5" (24.5 cm x 19.5 cm x 4 cm).

This preliminary exercise, sorting by color, is a chance to perfect an isolated skill.

Before children approach more complex activities, they must first master the basics.

The whole set includes:

One square ceramic dish (2.75”x 2.75”), one 3-compartment dish (6”x 2.5”), six ceramic beads, and a small size tray (10”x 7”).

Help children refine their fine motor skills and develop their pincher grip by having them transfer items from one dish to another with tongs.

The whole set includes:

 2 ceramic bowls, one pair of small stainless steel tongs, medium size tray, and beads to transfer.

30 wooden beads in six vibrant colors and five distinct shapes combine with two extra-long laces for many activities.

Stringing the easily grasped beads promotes hand-eye coordination, fine motor, cognitive and visual perception skills.

Dimensions: 1.5" x 7.75" x 9.25"

Ages: 3+

Kids will love learning their letters with these cheerful Alphabet Train Lacing Beads.

They can explore the alphabet in any number of ways that encourage a love of language-from matching a letter to an animal (A is for Alligator; Z is for Zebra) to spelling simple words and their own name.

The sturdy lace makes stringing together letters easy.

Kids will feel a real sense of accomplishment when they choose a word on one of the double-sided spelling cards and string together the matching beads.

The whole set includes: 27 wooden beads (26 letters and 1 train), 6 pattern cards, one lace, and a wooden box.

Helps teach letter recognition, sorting, and sequencing. Encourages fine-motor skills and pre-literacy skills.

Have fun on the farm with these beautiful lacing beads.

Set includes 13 wooden beads and one extra-long lace.

Kids will love stringing the farm-themed beads together in any number of ways.

Dimensions: 8.75" x 11.5" x 1"

Ages: 3+

The Small Square Root Board is used by the children to build squares and to extract square roots. The wooden board contains 225 indentations for working square roots. Included with the board is a box of 100 each green, blue and red beads.

A set of 2 cloth bags (red and blue) containing 10 pairs of small wooden geometric solids for matching.

This sensorial Montessori activity’s purpose is visual discrimination but as with all Montessori activities it aims to develop more than just one skill. It is also a tool to learn and increase language, vocabulary and concentration.

The direct aim of this activity was developed by Maria Montessori to refine and develop the stereognostic tactile sense and memory of a child. The indirect aim is language and vocabulary development and also to learn the skill of concentrating. 

This 32-page book offers 24 ways of teaching geometric solids, engaging diverse learning styles. Children learn to identify, analyze and classify three-dimensional shapes, describe and analyze the results of subdividing and combining shapes, and use geometric models to solve problems in other areas of math.

Arrange geometric beads into various figures and forms. Large beads are easy for little fingers. Lace them or stack them. Set contains two detachable strings and nine wooden beads in six different shapes and various colors. Cube measures 2.5" square. Made from rubber wood and printed with non-toxic soy ink. Recommended for 2 years and up. Made in Thailand.
