Number Tiles Box in a child's hands
The advanced set of acrylic number tiles for the checker board, the decimal checker board, the flat bead frame and the bead material, in grey and white with the numerals printed in black. Black is the point: the ordinary tiles carry the hierarchy colours, and a child reading colour can place a figure without ever thinking about which category it belongs to. Take the colour away and the move from one category to the next has to be understood, which is exactly what these are for. Acrylic and wood, for ages 6 to 12.
Visual Discrimination
Contrasting colors enhance the child's ability to distinguish and categorize numerical symbols while developing visual perception skills.
Mathematical Preparation
Bridges sensorial experiences with abstract mathematical concepts through concrete manipulation of numbered tiles.
Order and Sequence
Develops understanding of numerical order and patterns through hands-on arrangement and sorting activities.
Concentration
The precise nature of sorting and organizing tiles cultivates sustained focus and attention to detail.
How to present it
Place the box on a work mat with all tiles mixed inside. Ensure adequate lighting to highlight the color contrast. Work from left to right to establish directionality for later reading and writing.
- 1Remove all tiles and place them randomly on the mat
- 2Begin sorting tiles by color into two distinct groups
- 3Arrange gray tiles in numerical sequence from 1-8
- 4Arrange white tiles in numerical sequence below the gray tiles
- 5Return tiles to box in alternating color pattern
3 tips for parents
- Resist the urge to correct, the contrasting colors provide built-in error control
- Create a designated workspace where the child can leave work in progress
- Observe which aspect (color or number) captures your child's interest first

Frequently Asked Questions
What skills does this Box with Gray and White Number Tiles develop?
This material develops visual discrimination, numerical sequencing, order, concentration, and mathematical readiness. Children learn to distinguish between contrasting colors while reinforcing number recognition and sequence from 1-8.
How is this material used in the Montessori classroom?
Children sort and arrange the numbered tiles by color and numerical sequence. They can create patterns, practice ordering numbers, and engage in various extension activities that bridge sensorial work with mathematical concepts.
Why are the tiles specifically gray and white?
The contrasting gray and white colors provide clear visual discrimination without distraction. This neutral color scheme helps children focus on the numerical aspect while still engaging their visual sense, supporting both sensorial and mathematical development.
What age group benefits most from this material?
While designed for ages 6-12, this material is particularly beneficial for children transitioning from sensorial to mathematical work. It's ideal for reinforcing number concepts in lower elementary while providing pattern and sequencing challenges for older children.
What extension activities can be done with these tiles?
Children can create alternating color patterns, practice skip counting, explore odd and even numbers, create mathematical equations, or use the tiles for memory games. The material also supports work with factors and multiples.
