Homemade montessori bead materials
I have been working on some homemade montessori bead material. I haven't completed it all, but here is what I have so far.
Hundred squares, ten rods, and ones
Using this for place value work.
100 chain
Bead stairs for addition
2's chain





We live in a pretty rural area and I was unable to find gold beads, but found a ton of read ones, so our gold bead materials are red LOL.
Hundred squares, ten rods, and ones
Using this for place value work.




And I have been working on the 1000 cube
Taking a long time....but I am almost done. Here is some pics of the work in progress.


And here are some pics of A working with the bead materials on place value. I introduced double digit place value last week and she mastered that the first day, so today I introduced triple digit numbers and place value. She can count by 100's to 1000, and recognizes the 100-900 so we introduced how to read hundreds that are not just on the 100 mark. She seemed to grasp it pretty well .

Hi. Nice to meet you to! It is so nice to find other moms of PG kids, especially young ones. They can be a handful, but it is definitly an adventure. I look forward to getting to know you.
