The Multiples Of Numbers Tables is a Mathematics Montessori material designed for children aged 6-12, crafted by Nienhuis Montessori to AMI standards.
This Multiples of Numbers Table presents a clear 10x10 grid displaying numbers 1-100, serving as an essential reference tool for multiplication work and number pattern exploration. The laminated format ensures durability for daily classroom use while children discover skip counting sequences, identify prime numbers, and visualize mathematical relationships across the hundred board.
“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 Multiples of Numbers Tables transforms abstract multiplication concepts into visual patterns that children can physically trace and explore. This 10x10 grid displaying numbers 1-100 allows elementary students to discover mathematical relationships through their own observation rather than memorization. When children use the Multiples of Numbers Tables to skip count by threes or identify where multiples intersect, they build a concrete understanding of how numbers relate to each other. The laminated chart's durability encourages repeated exploration as children return to trace different number sequences, mark prime numbers, or compare multiplication patterns. Unlike traditional multiplication drills, this grid presentation reveals the inherent structure within our number system, allowing children to see that multiples of 5 always end in 0 or 5, or that multiples of 9 create a diagonal pattern. The Multiples of Numbers Tables serves as both a reference tool and a discovery material, bridging the gap between concrete manipulatives and abstract mathematical thinking.
Each order includes everything needed for proper presentation and long-term use.
Follow the Montessori method of presentation for optimal child development.
Invite the child to choose a number between 2-10 and circle it on the chart
Ask them to skip count by their chosen number, marking each multiple with the same color
Once complete, invite observation of the pattern created - vertical, diagonal, or scattered
Choose a second number and repeat with a different color, noting where patterns overlap
Record discoveries in the notebook, drawing the patterns observed
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.
Children identify skip counting sequences and multiplication patterns by highlighting multiples across the grid.
The organized grid layout strengthens visual-spatial skills and number sequence memorization.
Supports transition from concrete materials to abstract number relationships and mental mathematics.
Enables self-directed exploration of prime numbers, factors, and mathematical relationships.
Designed for child-sized hands
Professional tips from AMI-trained guides to maximize the educational value of this material.
“Keep multiple laminated charts available so several children can explore different patterns simultaneously”
Create pattern cards showing partial sequences for children to complete on their chart
Connect this work to the multiplication bead chains by having children verify their skip counting
Use the chart during group lessons to demonstrate concepts before individual exploration
Everything you need to know about this material.
This material is designed for children ages 6-12, typically spanning lower and upper elementary in Montessori environments. It supports the progression from concrete multiplication work to abstract number theory concepts.
The table serves as a control chart for multiplication work, helps children discover skip counting patterns, identify prime and composite numbers, and visualize mathematical relationships. It complements work with bead chains, multiplication boards, and other Montessori math materials.
This is a laminated 10x10 grid displaying numbers 1-100. The lamination ensures durability for daily classroom use and allows children to mark patterns with dry-erase markers for hands-on exploration.
Children can identify multiples of any number, discover prime numbers, explore factors, recognize square numbers, study divisibility rules, and observe number patterns. It's particularly useful for skip counting exercises and understanding multiplication relationships.
While a hundred board is typically used for number recognition and sequencing, this Multiples Table is specifically designed for multiplication work and pattern identification. Its format and presentation are optimized for exploring mathematical relationships and serving as a reference during multiplication activities.
