Does anyone know how to use the montessori Pythagoras board? I am thinking of buying it but the fact that I have no idea how to use it stops me javascript:AddSmileyIcon('') Same with the geometric sticks. and the binomial/ trinomial cube. I am willing to buy them but, have no idea what a child will do with them and am wondering whether the purchase would be justified.

Are any of you using these right now and do you find them valuable learning aids?

I have a fairly advanced 7 year old and a 5 year old if that helps any. Also, if I wanted to buy the corresponding manuals, would the MontessoriR&D ones be sufficient? I like what I see from NAMC but cannot think of spending that amount on a single manual.

Thanks

Bev

Have you seen this site? It doesn't have the presentation for the Pythagoras board, but it does have videos for the cubes, and a written presentation for the hundred board, which presents similarly to the Pythagoras... Not sure what geometric sticks you're referring to, that must be a title I'm not familiar with. I can tell you that I don't think Montessori materials are really worth having without an album of some sort. (Many Montessori educators do not believe they belong in the homes at all.)
