Make early maths click with a tactile, tidy wooden board designed for ages 3 and above. Children place and move the wooden numbers and symbols to practise counting, simple sums and number recognition - perfect for short daily bursts of learning at home or in small-group work at nursery/Reception.
This kind of hands-on “manipulative” aligns with how early maths is taught: children meet ideas concretely first, then move to pictures and symbols. That pathway (CPA) helps them build strong number sense before formal written methods in KS1.
Mapped to typical early outcomes:
EYFS: noticing numbers in play, counting objects, matching numerals to quantity.
Year 1 (KS1): counting forwards/backwards, number bonds within 10/20, using objects to add and subtract.
Materials & size: natural wood; board approx. 23×15×1.8 cm (see photos for exact set).
Safety: 3+ years. Small parts - adult supervision recommended.
What’s Included
Wooden base board with recesses
Assorted number tiles and operation symbols for early sums
