Montessori Bead Skip Counting

Would like to see some error control options. You can drag any number into the boxes. The concept is great. However only good for children who are already familiar with it and not starting out. Please fix!

Once the child has completed skip counting, they naturally want to explore what the amount is of different beads. Please add free play option.

I love the idea of having the beads, but child is limited to making chains of one set (all twos' for example). Would be more useful for learning if there was free play and ability to compare different sets (how many fours make 16; how many eights make 16). It becomes a repetitive app very quickly. Easy fix to add free play.

Skip counting is a great way to introduce and practice multiplication and this app allows the child to experience in a wonderful way. The child can create 'chains' as short or long as he wants. The numerals needed will continue to appear in the box. Typical to the Montessori material, there is no control of error except for visual and the child's knowledge of 'number' and the simple check mark that appears when the work is completed correctly. If the child puts a number in the 'wrong' place, there is no horn honking or whatever kind of negative sound you can think of - only the check mark appears when it's correct. As the App title suggests, this app is for skip counting. Perhaps a 'square chain' app is on Montessori Tech's list of coming apps! I hope so! I appreciate their attention to detail!

I teach in a Montessori classroom and I find this app very helpful to reinforce what the child has completed with actual materials or at home with parents. My only problem with the app is that it doesn't allow you to see the squares or make connections between two chains. With my older students I have them get two chains from the cabinet and show me all the numbers in common. Which ends up with 3x2 and 2x3. Perhaps in an updated form or another app.

Disappointing:(. The beauty of finding the squares and cubes of numbers is totally lost with this work. I was really hoping to find something for my ADD children who get distracted when little pieces are involved. Sadly this could have been developed to meet a a higher standard.

This app is wonderful! My children are not in Montessori but we like to use many of the works to supplement! This is great for kids from toddlers through learning multiplication tables! If you want your child to really love math and get a good understanding and visualization of how numbers work together I highly recommend this app!

Good app to continue works at home.
