Primary students go from the sandpaper tiles to the bead stair, seeing the numbers represented by bead chains of varying lengths.
In true Montessori fashion, the materials become more abstract as the child ages, moving from the bead stair to the bank then the stamp box, from the stamp box into the elementary level materials including the checkerboard.
Below is an excellent introduction and tour of the math curriculum. Feel free to come find the materials and ask for a demonstration!
