Numeracy

Early learning in numeracy can be far more than crunching through worksheets or getting stressed about tests and assessments. Promoting maths understanding by playing and enjoying numbers from and early age takes the mystery out of this essential subject. We've got beautifully patterned wooden numbers from John Crane, with plenty to match and sort contained in a convenient storage box, and simple coloured numbers from BigJigs which include the four function signs, to enable you to make sums to try together. BigJigs also do a very popular set of wooden number templates for classroom & home use. The great benefit of using manipulatives for maths is that if a sum goes wrong, you can just sweep it away, without the negativity of wrong answers on a page. The Counting Jigsaw from Melissa & Doug, with a hidden surprise under each number is also hugely popular. Step up to fractions with one of our variety of wooden fraction boards, a beautiful and extremely popular abacus for counting practise and lots of wonderful fun family maths games from Orchard Toys. Numeracy Skills will come easily when maths is just part of every day play and that is just what these toys will achieve. We even have Hama Bead boards to craft numbers out of and pastry cutters to make number biscuits or playdough and Fimo coloured numbers of your very own.
