Montessori Numbers is designed to help build sound mathematical foundations in children aged 3-7 by using a concrete, visually significant material inspired from the Montessori methodology.  I love the visual association they used in the app: for 100, it is a 10×10 square; for ten, it is a rod with 10 units sticked together.  We used a toy called “Big Ten” when my son started learning numbers, it had similar visuals, and it helped him greatly in understanding the real meaning… Read more
