🕎 Where This Fits in the Montessori Math Sequence
These counter cards are ideal for children who have been introduced to quantity through hands-on materials like the number rods or spindle box. The cards provide a bridge between those concrete experiences and more abstract counting work. Before moving to clip cards or worksheets, children benefit from this tactile, manipulative-based approach where they can physically place objects on each image.
🎓 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide
Let your child work slowly. The goal isn't speed but accuracy and careful attention. If they skip an image or double-count, gently guide them to go back and count again. This self-correction is where deep learning happens. Once they can count and place counters confidently from 1 to 10, they're ready for the 1 to 20 set or counting clip cards.
