The Golden Bead Material is a foundational Montessori math material designed to introduce children to the decimal system (units, tens, hundreds, thousands) in a hands-on, sensorial way. Crafted from gold-colored beads, this material represents quantity and place value visually and tangibly, making abstract math concepts clear, concrete, and engaging.
This material is used to teach numeration, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, following a sequential, step-by-step approach that supports deep understanding through movement and manipulation.
