The Dot Game & Instructions

The Montessori Dot Game strengthens children's mathematical skills, especially addition, using a more abstract method with dots on a grid. This game builds upon their concrete understanding of numbers, which they have learned through materials like the Stamp Game.

This lesson is a concrete way to teach the concept of 'carrying' in addition.

This set includes:

  • step-by-step instructions for the presentations (with diagrams)
  • 1 color master of the dot game paper
  • 1 blackline master of the dot game paper
