Teachables Trundle Wheel & Counters - Set of 10

Equip your classroom for collaborative, outdoor learning with the Trundle Wheel & Counters – Set of 10. Perfect for group investigations and whole-class measurement activities, this bulk set encourages exploration of distance, estimation, and perimeter in a hands-on, engaging way. Each trundle wheel in the set features an adjustable handle with four height settings, making them accessible and comfortable for both students and teachers. The integrated counter clicks audibly with each metre travelled and tracks up to 99,999 metres, providing immediate auditory and visual feedback. With non-slip rubber tyres for accuracy and dual measuring modes—via counter or pointer—students can develop a deeper understanding of metric measurement through interactive play and movement. Ideal for outdoor maths lessons, team challenges, or real-world mapping tasks, this set brings numeracy to life in a meaningful and memorable way.
