Product Description

Montessori Bank Game Set – Complete Decimal System Kit with Acrylic Beads, Beechwood Boxes & PVC Cards 🌿 The Ultimate “Bank” Experience – Where Numbers Come to Life In the Montessori mathematics curriculum, the Bank Game is a classic activity that makes the decimal system tangible. Children act as “bankers,” exchanging beads, building numbers, and performing dynamic operations. This complete set includes everything needed for years of hands‑on learning, built with premium materials that prioritize safety, durability, and educational value. What’s Included · Golden Bead Materials (Acrylic Beads + Copper Wire): 10 thousand cubes, 55 hundred squares, 45 ten‑bars, 45 unit beads. · Organizational Tools: 6 acrylic sorting cups, 2 small square beechwood boxes (for cards), 3 large trays (40 x 30 cm / 15.7 x 11.8 in each). · Number Cards: 2 large PVC card sets (1‑9000) in beechwood boxes + 4 small PVC card sets (1‑9000) in beechwood boxes. Why Premium Materials Matter · Acrylic beads – Non‑toxic, color‑fast, won’t fade or chip. Safe for children and resistant to daily handling. · Solid copper wire – Tarnish‑proof and permanently crimped; beads never loosen or slide off. · Solid beechwood – Splinter‑free, smooth edges, durable for decades of use. All wooden components are made from natural, sustainably sourced beechwood. · PVC cards – Waterproof, tear‑resistant, easy to clean. Will not bend or wear out like paper cards. · Acrylic cups – Shatter‑proof, lightweight, and long‑lasting. How Children Work with the Bank Game Step 1 – Learn the Decimal Hierarchy Using the acrylic cups and beads, children sort units, tens, hundreds, and thousands. They match quantity to number cards, discovering that each place value is ten times the previous. Step 2 – Build Numbers Choose a number card (e.g., 2,345). From the trays, collect 2 thousand cubes, 3 hundred squares, 4 ten‑bars, and 5 unit beads. Arrange them on the work tray to visualize the number. Step 3 – Dynamic Addition (Carrying) Take two number cards, combine their beads on the work tray. When any column reaches 10 beads, exchange them for one piece of the next higher value (10 units → 1 ten‑bar). Carrying becomes a physical action. Step 4 – Dynamic Subtraction (Borrowing) Build a minuend. Remove beads for the subtrahend. If a column lacks enough beads, exchange one higher‑value piece for 10 of the lower value (borrowing). Step 5 – Multiplication & Division Multiplication as repeated addition – take several copies of the same number and combine. Division as equal sharing – distribute beads equally among groups. Why This Set Works for High‑Quantity Needs With 9 thousand cubes and 45 hundred squares (plus reserve), multiple children can work simultaneously, and operations up to 9999 are possible without running out of materials. The extra thousand cube and 10 hundred squares provide a reserve for large equations. Key Learning Outcomes · Understand that 1, 10, 100, and 1000 are related by powers of ten. · Build and read numbers up to 9,999. · Perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with concrete carrying and borrowing. · Develop concentration, order, and independence through a complete work cycle. · Prepare for abstract arithmetic and word problems. Where This Set Belongs Montessori Homeschool: A core math material for ages 5-9. The three‑tray system stores easily and invites daily independent work. Elementary Classrooms: Essential for grades 1‑4 math shelves. Perfect for individual work, small group collaboration (2‑3 children), and teacher‑led lessons. Math Intervention: Trusted by tutors and educational therapists for children who need concrete support with place value and operations. Gift Giving: A comprehensive, heirloom‑quality educational gift for birthdays, holidays, or the start of a homeschooling journey. “The child's mind is not a vase to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.” — Dr. Maria Montessori penepico – Authentic Montessori Materials, Crafted for Generations. --- Quick Start Guide What’s Included: 3 large trays, 10 thousand cubes, 55 hundred squares, 45 ten‑bars, 45 unit beads, 6 acrylic cups, 2 small beechwood boxes, 2 large PVC card sets (1‑9000), 4 small PVC card sets (1‑9000).
