In the first numeral, we have 2 tens and 3 units, select the appropriate stamps that represent this numeral and place them in your stamp game mat. Using your addition command cards or equation slip, form the quantities in the equation. Below is an example of how static addition is done using the Stamp Game. This form of addition means that there’s no regrouping or exchanging of two quantities. Static addition is the first step in learning addition. Though this learning material is used to reinforce all arithmetic concepts, in this post, I will only share how it is used in addition (static and dynamic). This basic presentation is not part of the post though, but you will see this in our previous work here, Mastering the Decimal System. Note: before you use the Stamp Game for mathematical work, you should have a basic presentation of forming quantities with this material similar to the Golden Beads. This is similar to Golden Beads but instead of beads, the numerical quantity is represented by stamps: unit = unit stamps (green), ten beads = ten stamps (blue), hundred beads = hundred stamps (red) and thousand beads = thousand stamps (green). In the album that I am using, this material is introduced after the child works on the Golden Beads Addition. He enjoyed this material more than any other methods of learning addition and subtraction. And for us, this is how Mavi learned how to understand the concept of regrouping (dynamic addition). This learning material can be used in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. The Montessori Stamp Game is one of our favourite math materials at home.
