Printed arrows for the Short Bead Chain (100 chain) allow children in the primary and lower elementary environment to label each bead as they count by ones, reinforcing the sequence of numbers from 1 to 100 with a concrete, self-correcting reference. These pre-printed arrows save significant preparation time and ensure consistent, legible numerals that meet the standard expected when working alongside the bead chain material. A durable set is worth keeping on hand, as arrows are easily misplaced during work cycle and the chain loses much of its independent-use value without them.
