A MATHS MONTESSORI TOY FOR TODDLERS, 3 YEAR OLDS TO 7 YEAR OLDS

Counting Mastery & Number Recognition

Develop one-on-one correspondence between the written number and its value. Children learn how to count as they place each peg into the hole. They then have the opportunity to match, re-order, and test themselves.

The number order template keys provided in our flash-card set provide the opportunity for self-correction for basic arithmetic.

Odd & Even Pattern Recognition & Fine Motor Skills

It is not too early to expose your child to the difference between odd & even numbers. The odd number panel boards have circle holes; even boards have square holes.

Pegs likewise are designed to help with pattern recognition. The pegs are shaped to match the boards. Circle-end rods only fit into the odd boards and square-end boards only fit into the even boards.

Lastly, the length of the pegs at 1.2″ (3 cm) are designed purposefully to further develop your child’s fine motor skills. This length better encourages the use of their pincer grasp over a whole-hand grasp, thus strengthening the muscles for better writing skills.

Ten Frame Panels to Develop Number Sense

Our number sorting toy promotes creativity, exploration, & the opportunity to create multiple touch-points for learning. You don’t need to give this toy away after your child learns their numbers.

Our ten frame maths design is designed to help children identify the number of things in a set by quickly looking at them vs. counting. This learning skill is called “subitizing” and is an important math skill in preparation for addition.

WHY THE TEN FRAME?

Our number toy is based off the design of the ten-frame model. A Ten Frame is typically used in mathematics for 4-7 year olds – Early Years & Year 1. Ten Frames help children visualize number values. It is a graphic tool constructed by a rectangle made up of 2 rows of 5 squares. Ten Frames help give meaning to numbers as children learn how to compose & decompose numbers in relation to 5 & 10.

Ten frames develop the skill of subitizing (the ability to identify a number value by visually recognizing it as a whole instead of counting). For example, we subitize when we we can recognize the numbers on a die without needing to count each individual dot.

Subitizing is the pre-requisite for addition. The holes on our Counting Pegs number panels are arranged in a controlled ten frame number puzzle design. Once your child is able to correctly “subitize” the value of each board, they can they move on to working on addition, etc…

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE FLASHCARD SET?

The flashcard set includes 26 pages of maths goodness including:

basic maths & ten frame equations & answers reference guides & keys for number order & ten frame configurationsodd & even number categorizationaccess to our 50-page Maths Worksheet Download Set!Made with 350 gsm heavy-duty laminated matte paper and bounded with a (removable) metal ring to hold everything together!

MOVABLE NUMBER PIECES & A LARGE HOLDING AREA FOR NUMBER COUNTERS

Having separate, movable number pieces provides 100x the learning and game potential! This provides a totally customizable learning experience.

Numbers are printed in a child-friendly font that easily differentiates between numbers such as 6 and 9.

Lastly, the large rectangular holding area provides flexibility in learning. This area can hold different types of maths counters. You can use the included wooden number pieces alone, or you can use any maths manipulative counters of your choice (pebbles, beans, pom poms, etc…)!

MASTER NUMBER SENSE: Little Bud Kids Counting Pegs Maths set is an all-in-one set to introduce children to the world of numbers. This Montessori-inspired set makes learning maths fun; children start off by pegging wooden pegs to learn counting, ordering, matching, & sight recognition. Thereafter children are able to use this same set to explore addition, subtraction, & place value all the way to number 20.
TACTILE TEN FRAME TOOL: Our number panels are arranged in the style of the ten frame, a tool used in Year 1 maths to teach visual recognition of numbers. The ten frame is a rectangle made up of 2 rows of 5 squares and helps children quickly compose and decompose numbers in relation to 5 & 10. Using this design discourages random one-by-one counting, and instead promotes mental regrouping.
GROWS WITH YOUR CHILD: This versatile learning tool is not just used for toddlers pegging to learn basic counting. The movable number pieces and + – = pieces allow early years, and Year 1 & 2 students to work on beginning maths, addition, and subtraction. Build your child’s maths foundation by providing them with a similar maths framework that schools use to teach maths.
COMPREHENSIVE MONTESSORI MATHS TOY SET: 1 arithmetic flashcard set printed on thick matte cardstock, 10 number panel boards, 59 pegs, 20 movable matching numbers, + – = signs, 1 tote bag & access to a 50-page math worksheet set. The number boards alternate between having circle and square holes to teach odd and even numbers; cylinder and cuboid pegs allow children to then self-correct and observe patterns between numbers when matching the correct-shaped peg to the boards.
ECO-FRIENDLY & SAFE WOODEN MATHS GAME: Our durable wooden toys are 3rd-party certified non-toxic & kid safe and exceed all child safety regulations in the USA, UK, the EU, Canada, Australia, & New Zealand. We only use clear water-based finishes and paints on solid hardwood.
