Description

This is a quadratic adaption of the Montessori beads to learn counting/calculation.

The idea is that 10 of the small cubes give you one stick.

10 sticks give you one plate and 10 plates give you one cube.

In this way a child can get an intuition of how the 10-based counting system works.
For example the number 1231 equals to one cube, 2 plates, 3 sticks and one small cube.

I scaled the everything to a edge length of 0.7 cm to print on less plates and save filament.
Maybe you want to increase that to 1 cm or even more.

I printed many of them for a classroom (around 2kg of PLA) 😅 9 x 1000 60 x 100 60 x 10 330 x 1 One suggestion : It can be nice to update the model to have cubes relief at the bottom of the 10, 100 and 100 items? It’s totally smooth for now. I had to edit the model to modify the bottom surface.

Hi, I had it like that in the beginning I had problems with attachment to the build plate, this Is why I changed it to the current model. If you like please add your changed model so others can use it. I'm really happy to see my work getting used :) I hope it helps for your work
