Description
The mathematical mind is a mind which is especially interested in mathematics. Instead of finding mathematics idiotic and absurd, it finds them interesting and absorbing. It is a fact that most of the children in our Montessori Schools do achieve great enthusiasm in doing mathematics. It is the preparation of their minds which enables them to derive this pleasure. (Maria Montessori, 1946 London Lectures, p.87) Our product, Teens Board Activity Set, achieves this goal. This activity provides a number of exercises to practice working with the bead material. The aim is for the Child to grasp the concept of what numbers stand for. NOTE: we sell the bead material, seen in the illustrations, separately.
