Description

The Introduction to the Decimal Symbol is the first stage before the Child moves to the introduction to the decimal quantity.

The activity consists of 4 Birch ply number tiles, with the printed numerals 1, 10, 100 and 1000.  The colours of the numbers reflect the traditional Montessori colouring –

  • green for units
  • blue for tens
  • red for hundreds
  • green for thousands

The number tiles are stored in an open Beech wood tray, which can be used as part of the presentation.

One of the attractions to the Montessori Method is the extensive use of wood.

We use several types of wood, sourced from renewable sources, in the production of our Montessori Materials.

  • Solid beechwood for cylinder blocks, pink towers, dressing frames and brown stairs.
  • Birchply for trays, holders and animal and botany puzzles.
  • MDF for puzzle maps
  • Pineply for boxes and containers

 

We ensure that the coatings and inks used are not only eco-friendly, but also non-toxic.

Our wooden products are manufactured by responsible partner factories both locally and abroad and ensure that fair labour practices are adopted.

Care instructions for Childrens House Wooden Materials:

  • If wooden products are exposed to liquids, wipe dry as quickly as possible.
  • Most of the surfaces can be wiped with a damp cloth if exposed to dirt or grime.
  • Avoid leaving any of our wooden product in direct sunlight, as it may warp certain woods and/ or the coating may fade over time.
