Hierarchical Colors

To learn about place value, Montessori created the hierarchical colors. We see these colors in a variety of the Montessori materials. Our Place Value Working Mat supports the work with the Golden Bead Material and provides a smooth transition to The Stamp Game. The Circle Of Operations empowers the children to do mathematical operations together. From the easier addition problems, to subtraction, multiplication and division. As they transition from operation to operation, the ‘game’ gets more and more exciting. At a later stage, the same colors here are recognized when they move to working with decimal numbers.
