TEN FRAME PUZZLE
SUBITIZING is “ instantly seeing how many.” Ten frame puzzle is designed according to combinations of subitization. subitizing is fundamental skill in development of students understanding of numbers.
Ten frame puzzle is designed according to combinations of this both type of subitization.
Number one’s to four’s frame is based on perceptual subitizing and number five’s to tens frames is based on conceptual subitizing.
Ten frame puzzle provided ample opportunities to children to visualize numbers, cardinality, part- part – whole relation and number sense.
TEN FRAME AND BEADS
Relating numbers to the benchmark quantities 5 and 10 helps students see the relative sizes of numbers and can therefore support their transition from counting to later work in addition and subtraction.
A set of ten should play a major role in students’ early understanding of numbers between 10 and 20. When children see a set of six together with a set of ten, they should know without counting that the total is 16.
In the ten-frame, we can see that 7 is 2 more than 5, or 7 = 5 + 2, and that 7 is 3 less than 10, or 7 + 3 = 10, or 7 = 10 – 3. Working with a ten-frame can help students recognize the number of objects without counting. Some representations are more useful for building recognition of multiples—especially doubles. In the below ten- frame. This arrangement leads to thinking of 8 as two rows of 4, or 8 = 4 + 4
HUNDRED BEAD BOARD
The Hundred Bead Board or Montessori Multiplication and Division Board are invaluable tools designed to help children grasp the concepts of multiplication and division through hands-on learning.
The Multiplication Board typically features a grid with numbers 1 through 10 along the top and side, allowing children to place beads or counters to visualize and calculate products. This tactile approach helps solidify the understanding of multiplication as repeated addition.
Similarly, the Division Board assists in demystifying division by allowing children to distribute beads evenly across the board, making the concept of division as sharing or grouping more concrete.
These boards not only enhance mathematical comprehension but also foster independent learning, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, all fundamental attributes nurtured by the Montessori method.
HUNDRED BEAD RACK
The hundred bead rack, often referred to as a rekenrek, is a powerful educational tool used primarily in early childhood mathematics education. This simple yet effective apparatus consists of a series of ten rows, each containing ten beads, usually in two colors to help with visualization and counting.
By physically moving beads across the rack, children can develop a tactile understanding of numbers, addition, subtraction, and even the concept of place value.
The visual and hands-on nature of the rekenrek helps to engage young learners and makes abstract mathematical concepts more concrete and accessible. Furthermore, it encourages the development of strategic thinking as students can explore different ways to make up numbers and solve problems. The hundred bead rack is an invaluable resource in fostering a strong mathematical foundation in children.
BASE TEN BLOCKS
Base ten blocks are a hands-on mathematical tool used to teach fundamental concepts of arithmetic and place value. These manipulatives come in various shapes and sizes, each representing a different place value: units (single blocks), rods (ten units), flats (one hundred units), and cubes (one thousand units).
By physically manipulating these blocks, students can visually and tangibly understand how numbers are built and how operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division work. Base ten blocks are particularly effective in helping learners grasp the concept of regrouping or carrying over in arithmetic operations, making abstract numerical concepts more concrete and accessible. Their use is prevalent in elementary education, fostering a strong foundational understanding of mathematics that students can build upon in more advanced studies.
PLACE VALUE COUNTERS
Place value counters are educational tools used primarily in elementary and middle school mathematics to help students understand the concept of place value in numbers. These counters are typically small, colorful discs or blocks that represent different place values such as units, tens, hundreds, and thousands.
By physically manipulating these counters, students can visually and tangibly grasp how numbers are constructed and deconstructed, enhancing their comprehension of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
For example, a number like 345 can be represented by three hundred counters, four ten counters, and five unit counters. This hands-on approach aids in developing a foundational understanding of number sense, making abstract concepts more concrete and accessible.
HIDE ZERO CARDS
Place value cards, also known as hide zero cards, are an educational tool used to teach students the concept of place value in numbers. These cards help students understand that each digit in a number has a specific value depending on its position.
For example, in the number 345, the digit 3 represents three hundreds (300), the digit 4 represents four tens (40) , and the digit 5 represents five units (5).
By using place value cards, students can physically manipulate the cards to hide or reveal zeros, thereby seeing how numbers change and understanding the significance of each digit's place. This hands-on approach makes abstract mathematical concepts more concrete and accessible, enhancing students' comprehension and confidence in working with numbers.
PATTERN BLOCKS
Pattern blocks are an excellent hands-on tool for teaching fractions to students. These colorful geometric shapes come in various forms such as hexagons, trapezoids, rhombuses, and triangles, each representing a specific fraction of a whole. For instance, if a hexagon is considered the whole, a trapezoid would represent one-half, a rhombus would represent one-third, and a triangle would represent one-sixth.
By physically manipulating these blocks, students can visually and tangibly explore the concept of fractions, making it easier for them to grasp the relationships between different parts of a whole. This engaging method not only enhances their understanding of fractions but also helps in developing their spatial reasoning and problem-solving skills.
