Montessori Teens and Tens Extension Work

Sunday, September 2, 2018

A few weeks ago, I shared some of the extension works that Vito was doing on the teens and the tens on my Instagram. We didn't own the complete set of Sequin Boards, so I decided to make our own materials to do more exercises and not be limited by the boards. I have talked about learning about teens the Montessori way here and in this post. In this post, I will give you a walk-through of how we learn more about the tens and how we practice counting bigger numbers (from 11 to 100).

Montessori Teens and Tens Extension Work
Last summer, we worked on a three-lesson period on tens (10-100) using our Small Number Tablets and the economical beads. Now, this extension work reinforces the child's number recognition and counting practice. This activity also introduces the concept of place value (decimal system).

10-100 Lesson and Intro to Place Value System

The first round of work:  Match the number cards to the beads

The child's goal is to "copy" the number beads set up in the cards and correlate them with the number symbol. The beads in the cards are the control of errors themselves. The teacher/parent should initially guide the child in placing the exact beads, noting the number of tens and units, like in 23, there are 2 tens (golden beads) and 3 units (pink dots). Emphasize that the "tens" digit in the number indicates the number of golden dots in the count.

The second round of work:  Match the beads to the cards.

Once the child is familiar with counting tens and how the golden beads are used to calculate bigger numbers, you can move to the next stage, where the dots are set up randomly without the cards. Then let your child/student look for the number cards that match the bead counts. You can also check this old post of Mavi working on the tens. I've set up the teen's beads, and he (Mavi) matched them to our homemade number cards. In the picture below, Vito's also working on the tens; I placed all the beads, counted them, and matched them to the cards. He can check his own work by checking/counting the image of the number beads in the number cards.

Alternatively, you can use these bead number puzzles for another work set. It has the same use of matching the number beads to the numeric symbol. This set is perfect for those families/schools who still need to own the economical bead set.

Bead Number Puzzles
Repetition is the key to mastering this topic, so as much as possible, I provide different ways of learning to give the child enough choices to explore and solve problems. There are times when Vito likes working with the number cards alone and when he enjoys working with the puzzles.

And finally, I mentioned last year that Vito enjoyed coloring and assembling booklets. Thus I created activity sheets for our teens and tens learning pack so the child can color, trace, and make the materials his/her own. We are using our favorite Lyra colored pencils here. After this work, I assisted Vito in binding his booklet (see how we do it here)
