Teachables Transport Counters - 72 Pieces in Container

Buckle up for learning fun with this set of colourful transport counters-perfect for sparking conversations about vehicles, travel, and maths all in one go. This vibrant 72-piece set includes a range of whimsical vehicles such as boats, planes, trains, buses, and cars in six eye-catching colours: yellow, green, blue, red, orange and purple. Each counter measures approximately 2.5 to 5 cm and is housed in a durable, reusable storage container for easy classroom organisation. These counters can be sorted by shape or colour, arranged into patterns, or used to build imaginary traffic scenes and transport stories. Their playful design invites imaginative engagement while supporting critical early maths skills like classification, counting, and pattern recognition. The process of counting extends beyond simple recitation-students learn to sequence number names, match quantities to numerals, and grasp the idea of cardinality. Through these hands-on manipulatives, children also build essential mathematical thinking skills such as conservation, comparing, and ordering. These transport counters make an excellent cross-curricular resource that blends numeracy with creative storytelling and inquiry-based learning.

Educational Benefits:

• Promotes early counting and number recognition through tactile exploration.
• Develops skills in classification, sorting, and comparing by multiple attributes.
• Encourages understanding of patterning and sequencing through arrangement tasks.
• Supports language development and storytelling alongside mathematical learning.

Classroom Ideas:

• Create colour or vehicle-type sorting stations to develop early data handling skills.
• Use in storytelling prompts about holidays, transport modes or city planning.
• Integrate into pattern-building activities to explore AB, AAB or ABC sequences.
• Encourage students to build and describe traffic jams as a fun maths narrative exercise.

Information:
