Step 1
Introduction of quality
With this concrete Montessori material, it gives children the visual experience of thousand, hundred, tens and unit.
A child knows that thousand is more than hundred by looking at the size

Teaching purpose:
- introduce the child to the concept of the decimal system.
- make the child familiar with the names and relative sizes of the categories
- help the child with the difference in bulk between e.g. 6 units and 6 thousands.

Step 2
Introduction of symbols
Children match the beads materials to the corresponding number cards.

Teaching purpose:
acquaint the child with the written symbols for the quantities/categories of the decimal system.

Step3
Addition with decimal system. With this material, children move the two groups of beads together. They do the addition by combining the beads, not just learning the symbol of + on paper

Teaching purpose:
- give the impression of the nature of addition, that is of two or more small numbers coming together to form one larger number.
