Montessori Math Starter Bundle



















Montessori Math Starter Bundle
This bundle includes:
1. Watercolor Numbers 1-10 with Documentation Sheet: Print onto cardstock, laminate, and cut. Use these cards with counters, as a scavenger hunt, or for handwriting practice.
2. Bead Stair: Print, laminate and cut out bead bars and number labels. Form beads into the triangular bead stair. Lay out number labels along top of work surface in order. Have your child match the beads to the labels. Next time, scramble them! (Inside is a more efficient printing setup if you’d like to use the cards to make a large bead stair work.)
3. 1-10 Beads Scavenger Hunt: Print, laminate and cut bead cards. Hide them around your environment! You can laminate the student sheet (or not - then just trace with whatever writing instrument you please) and use a dry erase marker for multiple uses. Give child the student sheet, a clipboard and writing instrument and have them “hunt” for the cards. When they find one, they trace the corresponding number.
4. My Counting Book: This booklet can be used with mini stickers, stamps, finger prints, or drawing materials to fill in each page. Also provide scissors and a stapler. There is a version with red dots as well.
5. Counting People Booklet: Provide child with colored pencils, a normal writing pencil, scissors and a stapler.
6. Bead Stair and Number Tracing Booklet: Print, laminate and make master copy into a booklet or cards. Provide child with corresponding colored pencils, a normal writing pencil, scissors and a stapler. Child colors in bead bars according to master, writes in proper number, cuts and staples it into a booklet!
7. Color Dice Game: In order to play this game you will need a die and either a rainbow of drawing materials or of stickers. Take turns rolling the die and coloring in the squares according to the number rolled.
8. Teen Beads Scavenger Hunt: Print, laminate and cut bead cards. Hide them around your environment! You can laminate the student sheet (or not - then just trace with whatever writing instrument you please) and use a dry erase marker for multiple uses. Give child the student sheet, a clipboard and writing instrument and have them “hunt” for the cards. When they find one, they trace the corresponding number.
9. Circle Cards 1-20 with Operations: Print onto cardstock, laminate, and cut. Use these cards with counters, as a scavenger hunt, for handwriting practice, and for writing equations.
10. Snake Game: Print, laminate and cut out bead bars. Arrange into two bead stairs, one normal (one on the top and nine on the bottom) and one upside down (nine on the top and one on the bottom). Organize ten bars together in a box or pile. Make the rainbow snake by taking one bar from the top of each bead stair (1+9, 2+8, 3+7 and so on and so forth) until you run out of beads. You can do this alone or with a friend. Touch each bead while counting to 10. When you reach 10, take the two bead bars you’ve counted and exchange them for a 10 bar. By the end you should have a golden snake! This exercises addends of 10. You can check your work by partnering up the beads and matching them to each ten bar.
11. Sets Basket: There are so many ways to use this! Print, laminate and cut small pieces. You can apply velcro to the control chart and to the back of the small pieces. Child can sort into like piles and, count each pile one by one and place them on the correct line on the chart. You can also hide these around the house (I would label the backs with which number they correspond with to make sure child has found them all) and they can place them on the velcro’d chart. You can cut up the chart for the number
labels and place labels in a small basket. In another larger basket, mix and scramble all the small pictures. Child then sorts, counts and labels.
12. Addition and Subtraction Equation Sheets: Print out to use with bead stairs or objects.
13. Calendars: There are calendars for August 2020-July 2021. Included are copies with grey numbers to trace and blanks as well.
