Mathematics

Hands-on learning materials help make abstract mathematical concepts clear and concrete. Your child can literally see mathematical ideas.

The Golden Beads introduces your child to concepts like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and the decimal system. A single gold bead is a unit, 10  make a bar of 10, a square of 10 x 10 beads is 100, a cube is 1,000. Children gain an understanding of numerical quantity. They work together to see how addition makes a number larger and subtraction makes a number smaller, they understand ‘carrying numbers over’ and ‘borrowing’. By using The Golden Beads, children can soon count numbers into the thousands!
