Teachables Two-Colour Counters - Set of 200

This set of 200 two-colour counters features a red side and a green side on the reverse, offering versatile use across many mathematical activities. Perfect for teaching addition and subtraction, these counters also work well for 'yes' or 'no' responses, true or false questions, and decision-making exercises. Their size of 2.5 cm in diameter makes them easy for young hands to manipulate. The counters are ideal for use with 5 frames or 10 frames, helping students visually explore combinations that make 10, practise simple addition and subtraction, and develop strategies such as identifying missing addends. Additionally, they are useful for algebra activities and working with addition involving negative numbers. Beyond arithmetic, the counters support patterning, sequencing, probability experiments, and estimation activities, making them a highly adaptable tool for classroom maths and problem-solving tasks.

Educational Benefits:

• Enhances understanding of number combinations and basic operations.
