My child learned to use Montessori golden beads to do two digit static addition

Math

• The child learned the concept of place value by manipulating the Montessori golden beads to represent tens and ones.
• The child learned addition by physically combining the golden bead units to find the sum of two-digit numbers.
• The child learned static addition by correctly aligning the beads in the tens and ones columns to add two-digit numbers.
• The child practiced carrying over when the sum of the ones column exceeded 9.

To further develop the child's understanding of addition and place value, you can encourage them to create their own addition problems using other manipulatives, such as base-ten blocks or even household objects like coins and buttons. You can also play games with the child that involve adding two-digit numbers, such as rolling dice and adding the numbers together.
