The Checkerboard Lesson

 

The Checkboard Lesson in a Montessori elementary classroom is a large, grid-based material used to teach multiplication and division concepts. It consists of a grid, where students place counters or beads to represent numbers and perform calculations. This hands-on tool helps children visualize the process of multiplication and division, enhancing their understanding of place value and the relationship between numbers.
