The Addition Tables Booklet: 2 is a Mathematics Montessori material designed for children aged 3-6, crafted by Nienhuis Montessori to AMI standards.
This Addition Tables Booklet 2 provides systematic practice with addition facts for numbers 7 and 8, building upon earlier addition work. The structured format with blank answer spaces allows children to work independently through each combination, developing automatic recall of these essential math facts while reinforcing the commutative property of addition.
“Children display a universal love of mathematics, which is par excellence the science of precision, order, and intelligence.”— Maria MontessoriThe Discovery of the Child
“The greatest sign of success for a teacher is to be able to say, 'The children are now working as if I did not exist.'”
— Maria Montessori, The Absorbent Mind
The Addition Tables Booklet 2 represents a crucial transition in mathematical abstraction, offering systematic practice with sums of 7 and 8 through carefully structured paper exercises. Unlike manipulative materials that provide sensorial feedback, this workbook demands pure mental calculation, marking the child's readiness to work with abstract number relationships. The blank answer spaces in the booklet respect the child's need for repetition while building automaticity with these specific addition facts. By focusing exclusively on combinations that equal 7 and 8, the booklet isolates difficulty, allowing mastery of these particular sums before progressing further. The paper format encourages concentration and precision in writing numerals, connecting mathematical thinking with fine motor control. Through repeated practice with these addition tables, children internalize number patterns and develop the mental discipline required for more complex arithmetic operations.
Each order includes everything needed for proper presentation and long-term use.
Follow the Montessori method of presentation for optimal child development.
Open to the first page showing equations for 7. Read the first problem aloud: 'Zero plus seven equals...'
Write the answer in the blank space, forming the numeral carefully
Continue through all combinations for 7, working systematically down the page
Move to the section for 8, following the same careful process
Review completed work, checking for accuracy and neat writing
Every material is carefully selected for durability, safety, and authentic Montessori experience.
Sourced from sustainably managed European forests. Beechwood is chosen for its exceptional durability, smooth grain, and natural warmth that invites touch.
Natural, unbleached cotton in child-friendly colors. The fabric provides the right amount of friction for developing fingers while being gentle on sensitive skin.
Water-based, child-safe finish that meets the strictest European safety standards. Designed to withstand years of daily use without chipping or peeling.
Each material supports multiple areas of child development simultaneously.
Develops automatic recall of addition facts through systematic practice, building a foundation for more complex mathematical operations.
Children discover patterns in addition tables, such as the commutative property and number relationships.
The structured format with blank spaces promotes self-directed learning and concentration skills.
Builds upon Addition Tables Booklet 1, providing progressive practice that matches the child's growing abilities.
Designed for child-sized hands
Professional tips from AMI-trained guides to maximize the educational value of this material.
“Introduce this booklet only after the child demonstrates success with Addition Tables Booklet 1”
Observe whether the child uses counting or has memorized facts - both are acceptable initially
Keep multiple copies available as children benefit from repeating the entire booklet
Connect this work to the Addition Strip Board for children who need concrete support
Everything you need to know about this material.
This Addition Tables Booklet 2 focuses specifically on addition facts for the numbers 7 and 8, providing systematic practice with all combinations that equal these sums (e.g., 0+7, 1+6, 2+5, etc.).
While Booklet 1 typically covers smaller numbers and beginning addition facts, Booklet 2 advances to focus on sums of 7 and 8, building upon the foundation established in earlier addition work.
This booklet is designed for ages 4-6, though children who have mastered addition facts through 6 and demonstrate readiness for more challenging work may begin earlier.
The booklet follows Montessori principles by providing structured, sequential practice that allows for independent work, self-correction, and the discovery of mathematical patterns like the commutative property.
Yes, the clear format with blank answer spaces enables independent work once children understand the task, promoting concentration, repetition, and memorization of addition facts.
