Subtraction Snake Game

Description

The Subtraction Snake Game is used to introduce the Child to the unit combinations of subtraction. The objective is that the Child either just builds a snake or looks at a pre-written equation. The Child builds a “coloured snake” out of Coloured Beads, interspersed with the grey negative bead bars. They then subtract and make exchanges to come up with the difference.

The method to teaching Montessori math is by a sensorial, and concrete-to-abstract, approach.

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:

Most of the surfaces can be wiped with a damp cloth if exposed to dirt or grime.
