Transparent Sorting Mats - Set of 6

The Transparent Sorting Mats - Set of 6 are an innovative tool for reinforcing key maths concepts through hands-on sorting activities. Ideal for use on a lightbox with transparent counters, tiles, or letters (sold separately), these mats offer a visual and interactive way to practise sorting by various criteria. Each mat features a different colour and is dry erase, allowing students to easily mark different sections and use the mats repeatedly for various sorting tasks. The set includes six different mats, such as a 6-category sorting mat for pattern blocks, a 4-category sorting mat for colour sorting, a 2-category sorting mat, a Venn Diagram, a tens frame mat with 4 ten frames for number practice, and a 3-category sorting mat for place value activities. These versatile mats are perfect for helping students develop their understanding of categorisation, sorting, and mathematical relationships in an engaging way.

Educational Benefits:

• Reinforces key maths concepts such as sorting, pattern recognition, and place value.
• Encourages hands-on learning and active participation in sorting activities.
• Supports flexible learning by allowing various sorting criteria (shape, size, colour, etc.).
• Helps develop fine motor skills and understanding of mathematical relationships.

Classroom Ideas:

• Use with transparent counters or tiles to visually sort shapes, sizes, and colours in group activities.
• Practice sorting pattern blocks with the 6-category mat for hands-on geometry lessons.
• Use the Venn diagram mat to explore set theory and shared characteristics.
• Incorporate the tens frame mat into number sense activities for practising addition and subtraction within 10.
