Montessori Addition with Golden Beads


Math girl! 

Kaylee loves to do math. She is really good at it. Montessori method makes it fun and concrete. Recently, we started using Montessori golden beads to do addition. She started out doing equations that didn't require and "carrying" or "trading." That is called static addition. After a few times, I showed her how to do the golden beads for dynamic addition, or carry over.

One of the Montessori golden bead equations.



Using the golden beads, Kaylee sets up the problem on her board. 



Then, she adds together the beads and forms the answer with her number cards.
