Description

There is no stopping the Child’s enthusiasm, once the Montessori guide has presented the Unit Division Board to them.  The children immediately look for “sums” to practice their new activity, prompting our Montessori specialist to design the Unit Division Board Activity Set.  The material consists of 5 sets of questions; from the ‘simple division equations without remainders’;  to the more complex ‘reverse equation division’ tables.

Designed for the 6 to 9 environment, this product focuses on ensuring that the Child familiarises themselves with the various ways to divide numbers.  Indirectly, the Child gains self-confidence, improves their focus and concentration and learns to love mathematics.  It is designed for the 6 to 9 environment.
