Place Value Working Mat in a child's hands
A mat of 92 by 67 cm for floor work, with the columns of each place value coloured to match the Montessori hierarchy of number, and it rolls up for storage. Large number cards laid out on a table run out of table; laid out on this mat they have room, and the colour under each card tells a child whether the card is where it belongs before anyone checks. The rolling is not a detail either: a mat that has to be folded gets creases exactly where the columns are. Felt and fabric, for ages 3 to 12.
Mathematical Understanding
Color-coded sections support visual organization of units, tens, and hundreds in concrete mathematical work.
Order and Concentration
Defined workspace helps children maintain focus and organize materials systematically during complex activities.
Spatial Awareness
Large format encourages proper arrangement of mathematical materials and develops understanding of spatial relationships.
How to present it
Unroll the Place Value Working Mat on a table or floor space. Ensure the three color sections are clearly visible. Gather golden bead material or number cards to use with the mat.
- 1Introduce each colored section, demonstrating where units, tens, and hundreds belong
- 2Place unit beads in the appropriate section, counting aloud as you work
- 3Add ten bars to the tens section, showing how ten units equal one ten
- 4Introduce hundred squares, placing them in the hundreds section
- 5Practice building numbers across all three sections
3 tips for parents
- Create simple number-building games at home using everyday objects sorted into three groups
- Practice reading three-digit numbers together, pointing to each place value as you say it
- Use the mat for homework support when children work with place value concepts
