These counters can be used alone to aid understanding of counting, addition, subtraction, multiplication division and place value. They have yellow and red sides to give a visual representation of a process. Use different colours to introduce the concept of tens and units.

Reasons to Love:

• Can be used in combination with both 5 and 10 frames, and is essential in teaching early mathematical concepts such as basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

• Use as a way of building arrays to develop children’s confidence when it comes to timetables and related division facts.

• Use as place value counters, easily writing on the values of each counter with a dry wipe pen and then simply wiping off.

• Great way of visually representing how numbers are constructed, whilst also allowing for one-to-one correspondence to be developed, and early division focussed around grouping and sharing.

Learning Outcomes:

• A concrete way of teaching number bonds, addition,subtraction and place value.
