Arithmetic materials can be compared to a gymnasium for mental gymnastics. This leads individuals to different levels of maturity and as a consequence of free choice, mental progress is achieved which is logical and systematic, hence the material is proposed in the Casa dei Bambini (from about 5 years of age) to demonstrate at a sensory level the concept behind linear counting and subsequently developed in primary school as a concrete representation of abstract mathematical concepts; In fact, the chains allow a concrete representation of numbering by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 (multiples), of the concept of multiple of a number, of the concept of square and cube of a number and therefore of power.
