Learning Resources Hundreds Number Board, Plastic, Multi-color, 12 L x 12 W in (LER1331)

I had been looking for a hundred chart number board for my two 4 year olds for a while. I was pretty set on a slightly cheaper wooden one when I came across this one. The thing that sold me was that each piece fits and stays in place on this board, which is AWESOME for a preschooler who would be frustrated by pieces sliding out of place on the one I was planning to buy. I also love that this is a larger than normal board with big number tiles. It makes it easy for children with developing motor and reading skills to handle the pieces more easily and identify the numbers. The bright yellow color makes it seem fun. I also like that it comes with colored chips so that we can practice skip counting and identify patterns when they are ready for that challenge. Right now, my son who is 4.5 loves to practice matching up the numbers and will sit and do at least half of them at a time. I like that the numbers are written on the board as well, so he can match the tiles to the numbers on the board. I keep the lose tiles in a basket sitting on the yellow board on my children's "preschool shelf" and they can easily get it any time to work on. Another way we've used the board is I have gotten out just the numbers 1-20 and had them practice finding them in numerical order, reading the number aloud, and adding it to the board. They could already identify and order 1-10 but are learning to identify the teens, and this has been a great way for me to work on it with them. It's a quick activity that keeps their attention, doesn't take long to set up, and is quick to get out and put away. We will get a ton of use out of this. My only complaint would be the printing of the numbers on the tiles isn't of the highest quality and there are a few areas where small parts of the numbers are essentially scratched off or missing. It isn't a big deal at all right now, but I just hope the printing doesn't wear off over time with use.

My 5yr old son is autistic, he loves numbers. We knew he recognized 1-20. But did not realize how many he knew. He loves this board and knows each and all the numbers 1-100. The tiles are easy read, and sturdy. The board is sturdy and love that it can turn around for harder learning. The size is perfect, not to big or to small.

This is a must have for me. It's just the right size for little kids arms and when holding it, to explain to the little ones. No need to buy posters or word puzzle board which are big and clean up is a mess when the kids are tired. This board is excellent, it's light weight, it's twicks the little minds when kids have to figure out where to put the numbers. Made my daughter who is 3 years know how to say 1-100, then I divided the numbers into bags starting with 1-30 as I had read on one of the review even though she could easily sing the numbers, putting the pieces made her learn different number arrangements. It's just a great learning tool. My son who is five, learns alot too. This is one of the best toys I have found in quite some time. My kids learns a lot from it. Love it a lot. Bought a wood puzzle and a letter mat but by far this is the best. No regrets and I know my kids will use it for a long time as there are so many ways to use it. Just love it. Rarely will I write review but I could give it more stars ifor it was possible.

My rising Montessori kindergartner and I both love this "work" (yes that's a term in my child's Montessori classroom). This summer, she sat down at the dining room table with this board and its tiles for half an hour three or four times already. The first time we took it out, I divided the tiles into five small ziploc bags of 20 tiles, so as not to overwhelm her, and to direct the study in 20 tiles increments. She is slowly getting the hang of it, and soon I will consolidate the bags into 2 bags of 50 tiles. She also explored the concepts of odd and even on this board, using the red and blue tiles. Alas, there are not 50 blue and 50 red tiles, so she was pretty upset at not being able to fully cover the board's worth of odd and even numbers - but she clearly became familiar with the concepts! I know that organic materials are preferable over plastic for Montessori work, but I really loved what this board has to offer. The fact that each tile fits easily in a little well on the board is extremely helpful and allows my child to focus on the numbers rather than on the neatness of the tile placement. I highly recommend this math tool.

We just received this and it is missing the number 13. Otherwise, it is great. Not as hefty as the wooden Montessori sets, but it is sturdy enough and the board has grooves so that the tiles don't shift around. I'm wondering if there is anyway to have the missing piece sent to me without having to go through the trouble of returning the whole thing?

This product helps to teach and reinforce math skills while doing a hands-on activity. It comes with 100 number tiles which fit snugly into the grooves on the board and are easily removed. It also has 25 blue and 25 red transparent tiles that can be placed over the white tiles or by themselves in the squares. The colored transparent tiles help with identifying the even and odd numbers or multiples like 5 or 10.The product doesn't come with cubes as the stock photo shows, it comes with tiles. (I uploaded photos of the board I received that show the updated tiles.) The board and the pieces are very durable. I can see it lasting beyond each of my children.I highly recommend the product, especially for little ones who need to make that visual connection to math.
