10-Sided Dice

 

Our most popular dice include the 10-sided dice which are color coded to the Montessori Place Value system.  A set of 4 includes 2 green, 1 blue and 1 red 10-sided dice.  The dice are numbered 0-9, thus allowing a child to roll any number from 0-9999.  These dice are used in conjunction with materials such as number composition with the golden beads, the teen and tens boards, the Bank Game, the Bead Frame, operations such as addition and multiplication as  well as teacher made activities.  Four options are available, jumbo opaque, small opaque, small transparent, and small pearlized.
