Introduction To Decimal Symbol

Introduction to the Decimal Symbol brings the written side of the decimal system to a child who has already held its quantities: the sign for a unit, a ten, a hundred and a thousand. Once the golden beads have made those amounts tangible, the symbols are laid beside them and the child sees that a thousand uses the same digits as one, only in another position. It is the bridge between decimal quantity and place value, for children from three years.
