The beauty of math, numbers, quantity and the relationships between these comes through visually with Montessori math materials. Whether it be Red and Blue Rods, Spindle Boxes, or the Golden Bead work, these works appeal to children because of their visual beauty and clear order enabling the child to understand that the world can be ordered and understood through mathematics.

The faculty spends a great deal of time working with these materials leading most children to a good grounding in addition, subtraction, multiplication, division as well as fractions, and a sound understanding of the base ten system.
