The Addition Strip Board consists of a wooden board featuring a 12x18 grid, with the numerals 1 to 18 printed across the top. 

A wooden box contains 9 red wooden strips and 9 blue wooden strips of varying lengths, each marked with numerals 1 to 9.

Key Learning Objectives:

1. Provide Experience in Addition of Numerals:
   The material allows children to physically manipulate the strips to practice adding numerals.

2. Provide Concrete Experience in Addition:
   By combining the strips, children gain a tactile, hands-on experience of addition, helping them grasp the concept in a concrete way.

3. Aid in Learning Addition Tables:
   Repeated use of the strips helps children memorize basic addition facts, reinforcing their understanding of addition tables.

4. Practice Combinations of Numbers:
   Children can explore different combinations of numbers to find sums, promoting flexibility in thinking about addition.

5. Prepare for Abstract Mathematics:
   The material acts as a bridge, preparing children for more abstract mathematical concepts by first grounding them in concrete experiences.

6. Encourage Concentration:
   Working with the Addition Strip Board helps children develop focus and attention to detail as they arrange and combine the strips.
