Product Description
Montessori Material Overview
The Montessori Cards and Counters material is a foundational mathematics activity used in Casa classrooms to introduce numbers from one to ten. Children place counters beneath each numeral card, visually and physically connecting number symbols with corresponding quantities.

This material allows the child to experience numbers concretely before abstraction. By counting and placing counters in sequence, the child gains a clear understanding of quantity, number order, and the concept of odd and even numbers. The activity supports logical thinking and prepares the child for future mathematical work.
