🌱 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide
Clip cards transform abstract addition into physical, hands-on work. The act of selecting and clipping an answer builds fine motor control while reinforcing math facts. Start with 5-6 cards for children new to addition, gradually adding more as confidence grows. The gardening theme makes repetitive math practice feel fresh and seasonal rather than drill-focused.
