Place Value Board

The Montessori Place Value Board is a fantastic tool that makes the abstract world of numbers come alive in a clear, hands-on way. With its neatly labelled columns for units, tens, hundreds, and thousands, this board allows children to physically build and break down numbers, helping them understand the structure of our number system with ease and joy. By placing number tiles or cards into each column, children gain a strong sense of place value, learning how the position of a digit changes its worth. This engaging activity builds numerical fluency, supports logical thinking, and encourages problem-solving as they explore how numbers are formed and manipulated. Handling and positioning the numbers also strengthens fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, turning math into a truly multisensory experience. As children create and deconstruct numbers, they develop a solid foundation for addition, subtraction, and even more complex operations, all while building confidence and independence. The Montessori Place Value Board transforms math into a puzzle that children are excited to solve, laying the groundwork for a lifetime of mathematical understanding and curiosity.
