There are no wooden cubes or squares in this set.

The set includes:

9 thousand cubes

45 hundreds squares in a beech box

45 tens in a beech box

150 units in a beech box

2 large wooden trays

3 unit cups

This material is used to represent in geometric form the hierarchy of number for: 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10,000, 100,000 and 1,000,000. The precise nature of these materials makes it possible to compare by size the decimal categories, visualize through the color-coded system the concept of decimal value and the families of number.

This extensive set of bead chains and squares form part of the Montessori approach to mathematics. This set includes:

a bead cube for each number 1 to 10

bead squares for each number 1 to 10

a short bead chain for each number 1 to 10 to make the square

a long bead chain for each number 1 to 10 to make the cube
