My software development efforts have been in full swing lately and I am really excited about where it is going. Just finished an Alpha version of the Checkerboard for the Virtual Montessori Project. Go here to use the software for free. It is a barebones version right now and assumes prior knowledge of the real thing. I hope to soon add directions to this software to be more helpful. In the meantime, however, use my albums available here. The Math 1 album has directions for the Bead Frame and the Checkerboard.
