Math games

Montessori number board with pegs is an educational wooden toy designed for children's early learning of mathematics, logical thinking and fine motor skills. It is usually suitable for children aged 2 to 6 years.

Main tasks and benefits of this game:

• Understanding numbers and quantity: Unlike simple naming of numbers by heart, this game helps the child visualize what exactly each number means. For example, next to the number "3" you need to place exactly 3 pegs. This teaches the connection between the symbol (number) and the real quantity.
• Development of fine motor skills and tweezers: Grasping the pegs with the fingers and accurately inserting them into small holes trains the hand muscles, hand-eye coordination and prepares the child's hand for writing.
• Sorting colors and shapes: Often the pegs in the sets come in different colors, which allows the child to group them, count by color and create various logical patterns.
• Self-control principle (Montessori method): Boards usually have exactly as many holes as the number indicates. If a child has a peg left over or holes missing, he or she can visually see his or her mistake and correct it without adult intervention.
