The Stile Tray is the key to the self-checking activities of the Key Stage 2 programme. Pupils answer the questions by simply placing each of the twelve numbered tiles on the appropriate square on the base of the tray. When all the tiles have been placed, they close the tray, turn it over, and reopen it to reveal a geometric pattern. If the answers are all correct, the pattern will match the one printed at the top of the exercise. There are many different accompanying workbooks for use with the Stile Tray, covering Literacy, Maths and Dyslexia.

The clear approach to the teaching of the main calculating requirements of Mathematics for Years 3 and 4 of Key Stage 2 (ages 7-9) makes this set of books an essential classroom resource. The activities can also be used for the practice and reinforcement of key skills with less able children. Stile’s unique self-checking mechanism is effective for individual or paired work during a maths lesson. It’s also a highly motivating way to learn! The pack includes 6 books, each containing 24 pages (150 x 266mm). Stile Tray sold separately.
