Montessori Counting Cubes & Place Value Trays | Math Bead Set with Number Tiles

One cube. One bar. One square. And suddenly a big number makes sense.

Small fingers drop a single red cube into the green tray. Click. Then a bar of ten into the blue one, and a whole square of a hundred into the red. "One hundred and eleven!" The number tiles stand up behind each tray, and the number is right there, made with their own hands.

The Montessori Counting Cubes & Place Value Trays turn units, tens, hundreds and thousands into something your child can hold. Every place has its own colour, just like in a Montessori classroom. The counting cubes from 1 to 10 come in the traditional Montessori colours and line up into the bead stair, and when play is over, everything slides back into its own box.

It is the quiet moment when math stops being abstract.
