I really like the counting pegs for Kindergarten. The tactile motion of putting the pegs in as they count will support improving their fine motor skills as well as the counting. This is going on my wish list.
I really love how the cards for the golden beads can stack on top of each other. I like that they can also quickly show the expanded form. Since I already have the base ten blocks I would create my own cards that can stack and expand and color coordinate them with the base ten blocks.
I do, and I very much prefer it. I also teach 1’s, not “units” with the base 10 blocks, because once children move on to ones, tens, and hundreds they are inherently no longer using non-standard units. Moving straight from the abacus, particularly the rainbow abacus, and place value to the hundreds and multiplication boards avoids the problem of teaching fractions before the child has learned arithmetic.
The golden beads? I would like to know the answer to that question as well. I don't live in the USA, but in Türkiye, and the price here is very high like about 600 dollars or more. I don't know what's the price in USA, but definitely would love to have that home, it's also called bank game, search for that one. I saw a video where it was used the name bank game, Montessori golden beads.

These are great! Never heard of these tools before, but I definitely see their value. Thank you for introducing me to them!
Very useful! All of my daughter’s friends will be getting the first one for birthday gifts!!
Olys coming with outstanding activities love u love the way u speak ur voice modulation ur strategies excellent susan love from india ( mumbai)
The square pegs are for even numbers and the round ones for odds :)
Thanks for saying that.
The last one is an abacus without the frame.
Do you ever use an abacus?

There looks like there is room for two numerals in the wooden peg blocks.
Are there exercises for older students?
Looks like the odd # pegs are round and the even # s are square.
what are your thoughts on buying the long bead cabinet for homeschool?
