Educator Karl Frobel and anthropologist Friedrich Groos framed the cultural and scientific limits of the debate about play with toys, and they each emphasized the importance of structure.
During the mid- and late-1800s, Frobel and later Montessori designed a number of "manipulatives" or "gifts" to help children develop deeper understandings of mathematical concepts such as number, size, and shape (Brosterman, 1997).
