Introduction to the Decimal System (Golden Beads)
Small round beads, gold in color represent categories. One bead,
referred to as a unit, represents the quantity one. Ten golden beads,
threaded together on a wire are referred to as one ten. Ten tens wired
together into a square are named one hundred. And then the one
hundreds wired together into a cube are named one thousand. During an
initial lesson a variety of games familiarizes the child with the
names of these four categories and the matching bead quantity.
The golden beads allow the child to see and feel the quantities from
one to a thousand and to understand for the first time on a basic
level, the concept of squaring and cubing of numbers.
