Discuss What Relevance the Early Exercises with Golden Beads and Numeral Cards Have on the Child's Understanding of the Decimal System (Namely Th, H, T and Units); in Preparation for Individual Work with Gold Beads and the Stamp Game.

Montessori way of teaching mathematic is truly a wonderful and interesting way to learn the concepts of mathematics. Mathematic is very important for our daily life. Mathematic relates to numbers and numbers are around us all the time, so it is very important to introduce numbers to the child at very early age, but before you introduce numbers it is important to lay a strong foundation of practical life activities and sensorial training to the child. Practical life activities allows the child to gain precision in movements and strength of hand as well as the ability to focus on the work, it also helps in development of sense of order and logical and sequential thought pattern that indirectly prepare the child for mathematic .It also provides an opportunity for the child to develop the social skills to work well with others.
On the other hand sensorial training helps in child’s development of the senses that allows the child to better investigate the world around him. Sensorial training also helps the child to learn mathematics when exploring dimensions with the red rod, pink tower, he experiences exactness & perception through cylinder block, sense of weight through baric tablet and so on. It also sets the ground work for geometry and algebra with the geometric cabinet and triangle boxes and binomial and trinomial cubes. The exercises in this area assist the child in building up their Mathematical mind. Montessori looked at the Mathematical Mind as that of a mind that works with precision taking precise observations and working the new information into their existing framework of knowledge. Work with the Sensorial materials builds up this precise mind by sharpening the observational skills of all the senses. “And if we look now at the sensorial apparatus which is able to evoke such a deep concentration, there is no doubt that this apparatus may be regarded not only as a help to exploring the environment, but to development of the mathematical mind.” (Absorbent
