The Hundred Board

I had a hard time deciding whether to post this, but I wanted to share how cute she sounds as she says 70-70 instead of 73 and then 70-zero instead of 80(and how she's all sad about the zero part).  As I'm trying to follow Montessori principles, I think I should have held my tongue and not corrected her, but I really struggle with that!  She probably needs more work with the tens and teens board as she doesn't remember all the names for the tens yet.  I had left this on the table and she just went to it alone and started working on it while I was washing dishes.  I came over with the camera as I heard her counting, amazed because she was counting mostly correctly.

  1. So cute!!! And really impressive that she can count that high :) (even missing a few-really great!!)...may I ask where I would find a 10's board? (Ryleigh can count to 20...almost correctly) but I would really like to work on this... Have a great rest of the weekend!

  2. Here's one post with lots of resources for the hundred board as to what you can do with one.


    and here's the link that says where I got our board and how I magnetized the pieces.

  4. Hanna used to say her numbers just like this, and she too was in Montessori school.

    I have gotten so many math ideas from your blog lately that I've bookmarked. I so appreciate the time you take to post so thoroughly and all of the links you include as well.

    Thank you!

  5. Bear is such a smartie - I am so going to make a magnetic 100 board for Anna as well soon.
