Golden Beads - the Heart of the Montessori Place Value Materials
The Golden Beads concretely
symbolize the decimal system.
Example: 1 golden bead represents 1 unit
10 golden beads represent a bar of ten
10 bars of ten represent a square of 100
10 squares of 100 represent a cube of 1000
Golden Beads Introduction:
Quantity: incorporates 3
period manipulation of materials.
Numerals: colored numeral cards are taught in a 3 period exact place value
format.
Association Quantity to Numerals: true manipulation promotes exact
