Having an understanding of numbers and how they can be represented is fundamental to mathematical development. As a set, these five beautiful wooden trays show clearly how numbers increase in size. Use them with counters to explore what number bonds can be created on a single tray. Combine trays to explore how numbers relate to each other and can be presented as arrays. Largest tray size: 380 x 80 x 20mm. Smallest tray size: 75 x 80 x 20mm. Made from responsibly sourced beech wood. Age 2+.

Reasons to Love:

•These hand-carved wooden trays are geared towards helping children understand how numbers (1-5) can be represented in different ways.

•Counters, stones, disks can be used with this resource to highlight number bonds allowing children to explore how numbers can be built up or deconstructed in different ways.

•Use to show children how numbers can increase/decrease in size depending on their numerical value, whilst also encouraging children to math quantitates with these values.

•An adaptable resource - use higher up in the school by exchanging individual counters representing one with place value counters ranging in value from 1
