The active option is labeled 48 pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe existing listing states natural wood, an age position of over 3 years and a size of 23 × 15 × 1.8 cm. Those details should be checked on the package before use. The set is Montessori-inspired rather than claimed as an official Montessori material, and it should be used as a playful learning aid rather than a promise of academic success.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection class=\"wkt-grid\" aria-label=\"Product highlights\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"wkt-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e48-piece set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe active variant specifically lists 48 pieces; count and inspect the contents on arrival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wkt-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHands-on counting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhysical pieces can support one-to-one matching and quantity comparisons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wkt-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNatural wood listing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWood type, finish and documentation should be verified on the package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wkt-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eScreen-free activity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo electronic, app or screen function is documented.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection class=\"wkt-panel\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaking Early Math Feel Concrete\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYoung children often understand quantities more easily when they can touch and move something.
