  1. Learning Basic Math Facts Using Montessori Beads Micki Fitzpatrick Educational Consulting and Software

  2. Bead Work - Addition Facts 1 • Michael, at age 4.5 years, is learning the basic addition facts. • Materials: • Worksheet (Senari’s Worksheet Generator) • Montessori Beads • Markerboard

  3. Bead Work - Addition Facts 2 • Find the bead bars for each number in the problem. • Place each bead-bar next to the number on the problem sheet.

  4. Bead Work - Addition Facts 3 • Count the beads in both bars to get the sum. • (Michael could have exchanged the 6-bar and the 4-bar for a 10-bar.)

  5. Bead Work - Addition Facts 4 • Being a perfectionist, Michael decided to think about it and to count them again to be sure.

  6. Bead Work - Addition Facts 5 • Write the answer on the problem sheet. • Put the bead bars back into the box. • Get ready to do the next problem.

  7. Materials - Addition Facts • Montessori Beads, 10 of each number 1 - 10. • Markerboard from dryerase.com. • Addition worksheet from Worksheet Generator 1 at www.senari.com

  8. Bead Work - Subtraction Facts 1 • Mary, at age 7, knows most of the subtraction facts, but continues to practice using the bead bars. • Step 1: Get the 10-bar and the 3-bar for the subtrahend, 13.

  9. Bead Work - Subtraction Facts 2 • Step 2: Prepare to exchange. • The minuend is 5. • Change the 10-bar for two 5-bars • Mary now has two 5-bars and a 3-bar.

  10. Bead Work - Subtraction Facts 3 • To perform the subtraction, Mary moves one 5-bar away from the rest. • By counting what is left (the 5-bar and the 3-bar) she finds that the difference is 8.

  11. Bead Work - Subtraction Facts 4 • After counting the beads, she writes the answer. • When she returns the bead bars to the box, she is ready for the next problem. • She uses the answer sheet to correct her own work.

  12. Materials - Subtraction Facts • Montessori Beads, 10 of each number 1 - 10. • Markerboard from dryerase.com. • Subtraction answer sheet is also from Worksheet Generator 1 at www.senari.com

  13. Bead Work - Multiplication 1 • George, at age 7, is learning the basic multiplication facts. • Materials: • Worksheet (Bead Sheet - Multiply and Divide) • Bead chains • Multiplication tickets

  14. Bead Work - Multiplication 2 • Lay out the chain and tickets so that they are clearly visible. • Count the beads and place the tickets in the appropriate places on the chain of 6’s. • Beads/tickets are pink for multiples of 6.

  15. Bead Work - Multiplication 3 • To multiply count the tickets until you get the multiplier. The number on the ticket is the product. • State the problem • “x groups of 6 = “

  16. Bead Work - Multiplication 4 • Using the bead paper, write the answer for each of the problems.

  17. Materials - Multiplication Facts • Chains of Montessori beads – 10 per chain. • George used the back of his Markerboard for his beads, and a clip board for the bead paper. • Use the Bead Paper for both multiplication and division facts.

  18. Bead Work - Division 1 • To do division: • Find the ticket that contains the dividend. • Mark it with a finger • Count the number of groups before it. • State the problem: • “How many groups of 6 are there in x? “

  19. Bead Work - Division 2 • Remove the ticket and place it near the sheet. • This insures that the student keeps his/her place, and allows for re-counting. • Say the problem while writing it on the sheet.
