Skip Counting
The children learn to count in linear sequence by arranging the colored beads and arrows in meaningful ways and then progress to mastering skip counting.
Preparation for Multiplication
Understanding skip counting might be a useful first step toward understanding multiplication. For instance, from 0 to 10, we skipped counting by two. There are five "skips," which means that in order to get 10, we must skip counting by 2 five times. Alternatively, 2 x 5 = 10.
Square Numbers
The player folds the bead chain and overlaps it on the bead square, which leads the player to learn that the square value is the total number of beads of the bead chains.
Package Content
Bead chains 1-10, bead squares 1-10, and arrows (two sets of arrows are included, one of which is a backup set.)
