The Bead Chains are found in the Bead Cabinet; two different chains for each number, 1-10. The first chain breaks down the number squared, and the second chain breaks down the number cubed. Accompanying each chain is a square or a cube, respectively. When a child uses the Bead Chains for skip counting, they lay the chain on a mat and use corresponding numbered arrow tags to count out the chain, in multiples of its particular number.
