It is a hands-on way to practice mathematical skills, and it can help students develop a better understanding of how multiplication works, and provide a deeper insight into the base 2 system.

In most elementary schools, children are introduced to the concept of “reduce, reuse, recycle” during second or third grade, which aligns with the lower elementary grades in Montessori schools. This is usually included in science or environmental studies classes. As students advance through their education, they may encounter discussions on the significance of recycling and sustainability in subjects like social studies, language arts, and math.
