Educational Influences

Influenced by a variety of learning tools for early elementary school, our educational math board game takes the best ideas from Singapore math, numberblocks toys, Cuisenaire rods, math cubes, and Montessori math toys. This includes Montessori numerical math rods, addition strip board, and bead houses.

All these theories combined all point to the main idea that children learn best when provided opportunities for hands-on, visual, & tactile exploration of various math manipulatives.

TACTILE & VISUAL ARITHMETIC

Lengths on the wooden number rods increase incrementally for each number, thus providing a visual framework for understanding the relationship between value and length.

These math manipulatives provide endless opportunities to explore and investigate fundamental math concepts:

Addition & subtractionFractions (parts & wholes)Simple multiplication & division

LINED RODS FOR MENTAL MATH PRACTICE

Number rods are double-sided for mental math practice & encourages subitizing (the ability to see a number’s value without counting).

Matching # of squares for each rod5th bar line is bolded for rods 6-10

Double-sided number rods allow for self-exploration and provide visual reinforcement.

Number cubes 0-20 and + – = signs make for great math counters to practice equation building, skip counting, & ordering.

Title: Perfect teaching resource!!! Super versatile
Review: So impressed by the versatility of this wonderful learning toy.As a homeschool mom I always look for resources to enhance learning. My first graders are learning addition and subtraction. They struggled a bit with addition facts, memorizing and trying over and over helped some; but with these wonderful blocks they are now able to have a tactile experience and see addition patterns. This toy invites them to create family facts with the manipulatives in a written form, numerical and also kinesthetic form with the use of unit blocks. I am sure you can use this in multiple other ways: odd and even numbers, regrouping, shapes and abstract play etc.The blocks are of an amazing quality, I absolutely love the storage box and the instruction cards! Great quality overall.It is not my first item from this shop. I absolutely love the quality and versatility of all their items.Montessori way cannot be more beautiful and fun. Absolutely recommended this new product.

Title: beautifully crafted learning toy
Review: This is a great way for pre-school kids to get an intuitive grasp of numbers–handling the cubes (single units), adding the rods to each other, and subtracting them from each other. Easy to visualize those arithmetic abstractions. Our 4-year old grand daughter is keen on numbers and was quickly fascinated by the set. I believe it’s good for 4-5 year olds.

Title: Unique and easy to understand
Review: The quality of this learning toy is top notch. I love all the different ways my son can manipulate the blocks to reinforce his basic math skills. I work at a private school and will bring this in as an additional learning tool for my K-3rd grade classroom. Anything to get out of workbooks and hands on material is a plus! This will hold up well with multiple students using it. I’m excited to show them!
