Bead Bar Addition - Simple

The color bead bar addition helps children visualize and understand addition through hands-on manipulation, building a concrete grasp of numbers.

This bead bar addition work includes 45 equations, with sums not exceeding 9 (static addition).

This set includes:

• instructions
• 5 pages in black & white
• 5 pages in color 
  

You can complete this work without using the bead bars during the lesson. However, it is more effective and offers a richer sensory experience when the child can physically touch and manipulate the bead bars. If you are using the bead bars to demonstrate the equation, then you will need 1 set of the color bead stair (1-9).

The bead bars are colored according to traditional Montessori colors. If your bead bars have a different color scheme, you can use the black and white set and create a master copy that follows your own color scheme.

Pages print on letter-size paper (8½" x 11").
