I did also purchase a package of 5 beads stairs from Kid advance to have for extras so that I was sure to keep a complete box - and to account for any poss loss of beads bars. Great choice!! The knobless cylinders are wonderful!! You choice of alphabets are great in that later you can paint the vowels (red & blue box) for more advanced work. As for the operations boxes well... we love ours but if I were to do it over again I may have just printed them. You can easily make them (which you are great at) or Montessori Print Shop has great printables of these. We use ours alot! The printables have the same equations as the boxes. The answer chips usually come with the math charts (for tables work later). I bought the boxes because they contained both the equations and answer chips - but again easily made and big money saver!! Hope this made sense and is helpful:) Good luck!!Cherine Muirheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01107665808653181237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190462048494164843.post-83199659306992894062013-11-01T17:14:57.767-07:002013-11-01T17:14:57.767-07:00Hi Cherine!

I'm totally lost. My list includes decanomial beads, knobless cylinders, red & blue moveable letters and the black moveable letters. I was thinking that with decanomial, we can do a lot of work from here and would be of use to a lot of math activities. For knobless, I admire all the extension work... would really challenge my son and for the letters so we can dig dipper into the digraphs and phonograms (and spelling). BUT I am also thinking of addition/difference equations boxes. Are they worth-it (the boxes)? We'll be doing a lot of addition and subtraction next year so I am torn whether to have them or not without the boards (pricey for me). Thank you so much!Jae (Pinay Homeschooler)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01603408097485900989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190462048494164843.post-28575455222892501242013-10-24T12:16:01.239-07:002013-10-24T12:16:01.239-07:00That's awesome Amy!!
