Counting Tiles

The Counting Tiles Set includes 24 brightly coloured felt number squares, each featuring quantity illustrations from 1 to 24. Crafted from stiffened polyester and backed with non-slip rubber, these tiles are ideal for hands-on numeracy activities in early years learning environments. Designed for children aged 2.5 to 6 years, the tiles offer a visual and tactile way to introduce number recognition and early counting concepts. Each square displays an engaging image that corresponds to its number, helping children connect symbols with quantities. The anti-slip backing ensures that the tiles stay in place during play, making them ideal for both indoor floor-based activities and table-top learning. Perfect for learners with limited prior experience in mathematics, this resource supports a foundational understanding of numbers through active participation.

Educational Benefits:

• Builds number recognition and counting skills through visual and tactile interaction.
• Promotes one-to-one correspondence by matching quantities with numerals.
• Supports kinaesthetic and visual learners through hands-on engagement.
• Ideal for numeracy support, early intervention, and foundational skill development.

Classroom Ideas:

• Number Identification: Place the tiles in order and ask students to identify and name the numbers shown.
• Counting Practice: Provide objects (e.g., counters, blocks) for children to match to the correct tile quantities.
• Number Sequencing: Challenge students to arrange the tiles in numerical order from 1 to 24.
• Group Games: Play œNumber Hunt by hiding the tiles around the room for students to find and identify.
• Simple Math Problems: Use tiles to visually represent basic addition or subtraction (e.g., combining or removing tiles to find totals).
