Carry On Early Addition Set

The Carry On Early Addition Set provides a highly tactile and visual method for introducing young learners to foundational addition skills. This interactive maths resource includes six durable 32 cm x 32 cm bases and 100 number tiles, all made from sturdy polyester with anti-slip rubber backing for added classroom stability. Designed specifically for children aged 4 to 7, the set offers a hands-on approach to learning that helps build number sense, quantity comparison, and early problem-solving strategies. The large tiles are easy for little hands to grasp, and the vibrant numbers support number recognition and understanding of the addition process. As students manipulate the tiles and construct addition problems directly on the mats, they are actively building fluency in early numeracy concepts through movement and play. Whether used individually or in collaborative group settings, this set enhances engagement, supports kinaesthetic learning, and encourages exploration of numerical relationships. Its versatility allows it to be adapted for both teacher-led instruction and student-directed activities, making it a valuable addition to any early years or Foundation maths program. The set is also ideal for differentiated instruction, enabling learners at different levels to progress at their own pace.

Educational Benefits:

• Introduces foundational addition concepts in a hands-on, visual format.
• Promotes number recognition and quantity understanding through tactile play.
• Supports development of problem-solving, sequencing, and patterning skills.
• Reinforces fine motor control and spatial reasoning in early learners.

Classroom Ideas:

• Use the mats for hands-on addition practice during numeracy rotations.
• Play number matching games using tiles and spoken quantities to reinforce number sense.
• Run addition races where students solve simple problems using tiles against the clock.
• Incorporate the tiles into story-based word problems for real-world maths connections.
