The Montessori Spindle Box is a material that will help the child develop their mathematical abilities – counting and learning their numbers.
This set of spindle box is composed of 2 rectangular wooden boxes with 5 different compartments in each of them.
With 2 boxes, young children could focus on learning the first 5 numbers before moving onto the full set.
45 Spindles
The wooden box is made of high-quality beech wood, with a smooth surface without burrs, giving children a good user experience.
Purpose: To learn the concept of zero. To see the numerals 0 to 9 in their correct fixed sequence, and to match them with the correct number of loose Spindles. There are 45 spindles. If the child makes an error when doing the activity, he will have either too few or too many spindles at the completion of the exercise.
Operation method:
1. Prepare the table, invite the children to work together, and introduce the work of the spindle box.
2. Take the spindle box with both hands and place it on the table.
3. Point to and read the number 1, "1" count 1 spindle from the box and place it in the grid of 1, point and read the number 2, "1, 2, 2" count 2
spindles from the box The stick is placed in the grid of 2, and so on.
4. After counting, signal to the child that the box containing the spindles is empty.
5. After that, point to and read the number 0, "0 means nothing, no need to put anything."
6. Finally, return the spindle to the box in the order of 0-9.
Variation and extension: You can use straws, wooden sticks, toothpicks or chopsticks instead of spindles, tie them in a certain number with rubber bands, and use them together with 0-9 digital cards.
