The Arithmetic Books: Green - Small (100) is a Educational Materials Montessori material designed for children aged 3-6, crafted by Nienhuis Montessori to AMI standards.
This set of 100 small arithmetic exercise books features mint green covers and grid paper pages designed for early mathematical work in the Montessori classroom. Each compact workbook provides structured space for children to practice number formation, simple operations, and mathematical patterns during their sensitive period for order and precision. The grid layout supports proper numeral alignment and spacing, essential for developing clear mathematical thinking.
“The child is both a hope and a promise for mankind.”— Maria MontessoriEducation and Peace
“The hands are the instruments of man's intelligence.”

The Arithmetic Books: Green - Small provide each child with personal space for mathematical exploration during the crucial 3-6 year period. These mint green covered workbooks honor the child's need for repetition by offering 100 identical formats where mathematical discoveries can unfold naturally. The grid paper pages within each book create visual boundaries that help young children understand number relationships and spatial organization. Each small workbook becomes a record of the child's mathematical journey, allowing them to see their own progress from early number formation to more complex operations. The consistent green color connects these books to other mathematical materials in the prepared environment, while the compact size fits perfectly in small hands. By providing individual workbooks rather than shared materials, we respect each child's unique pace of development and need for ownership over their work.
Each order includes everything needed for proper presentation and long-term use.
Follow the Montessori method of presentation for optimal child development.
Demonstrate writing the numeral 1 in the first grid square, showing proper formation
Continue with numerals 2-9, using one square per number
Show simple addition using the grid to organize the equation
Every material is carefully selected for durability, safety, and authentic Montessori experience.
The grid paper pages provide the perfect foundation for mathematical work, offering visual structure that helps children understand number relationships and maintain neat, organized work.
Each material supports multiple areas of child development simultaneously.
Grid layout helps children develop number sense and understanding of place value through organized practice.
Writing numbers within grid squares refines pencil grip and hand control essential for mathematical recording.
Structured format satisfies the child's need for order while building habits of careful, accurate work.
Individual workbooks allow each child to progress at their own pace and maintain personal records of their mathematical journey.
Designed for child-sized hands
Professional tips from AMI-trained guides to maximize the educational value of this material.
“Date each book when started to track mathematical progression over time”
Keep completed books accessible so children can review their earlier work
Introduce books only after concrete mathematical materials have been explored
Use the grid format to transition from concrete to abstract mathematical thinking
Everything you need to know about this material.
These are small-format exercise books ideal for young children's hands. Each book contains grid paper pages specifically designed for mathematical work. The compact size makes them perfect for individual work at tables or on work mats.
The mint green color follows Montessori's systematic approach to materials organization. Green is often associated with mathematical materials in Montessori classrooms, helping children identify and return materials to their proper place while supporting their sense of order.
Children use these books for number formation practice, simple addition and subtraction, skip counting, number patterns, and recording mathematical discoveries. The grid paper helps maintain proper numeral alignment and supports the development of neat, organized mathematical work.
These books complement concrete Montessori math materials by providing space for abstract representation. Children can record their work with golden beads, stamp game, or bead chains, bridging the gap between concrete manipulation and abstract mathematical thinking.
While designed for classroom use, these books work excellently in home environments. Parents supporting Montessori learning at home can use them for daily math practice, homework, or extending classroom lessons. The 100-book set ensures plenty of practice opportunities.
