Wooden Cup in a child's hands
A single wooden cup in grey and green, sold on its own. In the Montessori hierarchy the same three colours repeat in every family, green for units, blue for tens, red for hundreds, and the outer colour says which family is meant: grey is the thousands. That repetition is the whole lesson, because a child who can divide by units can divide by thousands the moment they trust the pattern. The Long Division material, four boards with seven racks of tubes, seven cups and thirty six skittles, is a separate item.
