Montessori Coloured Beads: How We Use It At Home

Friday, October 21, 2016

It’s starting to get chilly in our side of the world and though we prefer walking in the fields and in the forest during this beautiful season, the weather doesn’t seem to be in line with my plans.  So last week, I introduced Vito to the Montessori colored beads which I have for 3 years now.  But the thing about siblings, they just wanted to do what the other is doing.  Mavi insisted that I should give him some work with the beads as well, not just Vito.  In this post, I’m sharing how I made the boys work independently, but still supervising them as they work.

For Vito, I made him these cards basically for a simple matching activity.  These are actually nomenclature cards, but I made him use the control cards with the beads.  During the presentation, I told Vito that the beads represent numbers.  I presented the beads from one to ten, he listens but keeps on identifying the colors as I go along.

He worked on his own after I showed him the work.   At first, he matched the beads by colors and surprisingly, he later on counted the beads.

Here you can see Vito trying to count the beads.

For Mavi, it’s a multiplication work. Here he’s reviewing the multiplication table from 1 to  6.  We are using the arrow labels from here.

Mavi is completing the Multiplication Booklet 3, which you can download for free from here.

They are working side by side and I was there mostly for supervising Vito. It’s great when Vito is starting to be more “cooperative” rather than being playful when given an activity.  I can start giving them work on the same areas of learning but different levels of activities.

More bead works coming up so stay tuned!
