The game "Rough numbers" MENTAL

The set contains boards with numbers from 0 to 9, placed in a special box. They are made of wood, and the numbers are engraved. The classes are aimed at familiarizing children with numbers and their graphic representation. Suitable for children over three years old.

The Montessori method is used during classes. At the initial stage, the teacher chooses 2-3 boards with numbers. For example, it can be numbers 1, 2, 3, but the choice can be different. The teacher places the board in front of the child and runs his finger over the image of each number in turn, naming it. The child repeats this action after the teacher and names the numbers.

During classes, the child receives a variety of sensations - visual, tactile and auditory, which contributes to better memorization. The difference in materials (wood and sand) encourages the child to guide his finger along the images, which supports the learning process. Gradually, the number of numbers presented increases, the child remembers their names and graphic images. If the child shows a desire to write or make numbers from other materials, he has the opportunity to do so.

This approach contributes not only to familiarizing children with numbers, but also to preparing them for writing.
