Small counting frame – Understanding calculations in the thousands

The small counting frame made of beech wood helps children discover mathematical relationships in a tangible and visual way. With the colored wooden balls in the typical Montessori place value colors of green, blue, and red, numbers up to 10,000 can be represented and calculations can be understood clearly.

By moving the pleasantly grippy wooden balls, children can understand addition, subtraction, and multiplication step by step. The clear assignment of rows to the place values of units, tens, hundreds, and thousands facilitates the understanding of the decimal system and promotes a confident handling of larger numbers.

The slightly inclined design ensures good visibility and pleasant handling – both when working at the table and in class. The counting frame is ideally suited as a complement to Montessori materials such as the Golden Bead material, the Marking Game, or the Number Cards.
