The Stamp Game is an incredibly versatile material! Whether you’re introducing whole number place value relationships or one of the

four operations, the Stamp Game beautifully supports you and the child.

This material incorporates the traditional Montessori hierarchical colors of green (units and thousands), blue (tens), and red

(hundreds). In terms of sequence, this material is presented after the child has been introduced to the decimal system using the

Golden Bead material which is far more concrete in nature. It is important to guide the child to the association between the literal value

of the golden beads and the abstract representation of the stamps.

When introducing or practicing place values using the Stamp Game, the Decimal Board material can be a wonderful accompaniment.
