Green Cups for Static Bead Material

The Green Cups for Static Bead Material are an essential component of the Montessori Decimal System work, designed to support children in understanding the structure and hierarchy of numbers. This set includes four green cups, each used alongside the Static Bead Material to introduce the concept of units, tens, hundreds, and thousands in a clear, concrete, and visually consistent way.

These cups help children organise bead quantities during lessons, making it easier to grasp the decimal system through hands-on exploration. By placing the corresponding bead bars or bead units into each green cup, the child gains a tactile understanding of numerical order, grouping, and place value. This structured, physical representation of numbers lays the foundation for more advanced mathematical work such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with the golden beads.

Durable and precisely sized for classroom use, the Green Cups for Static Bead Material support independent handling, repetition, and orderly work—core principles of Montessori math education.
