Teachables Magnetic Bi-Colour Counters - Circles, Set of 100

This set of 100 Magnetic Bi-Colour Counters is an essential resource for a variety of mathematical activities. Each counter measures 2 cm in diameter and is magnetic, with red on one side and yellow on the reverse. Both sides will stick to a metal surface like a magnetic whiteboard, making these counters highly versatile in the classroom. They are perfect for basic operations like addition and subtraction, as well as for more advanced tasks such as multiplication and fraction activities. For instance, you can demonstrate multiplication by placing the counters in a grid (e.g., 3 x 3 = 9) or create bar graphs. The two-coloured counters can also represent positive and negative numbers, allowing students to easily visualise and solve problems like positive 3 + negative 2 = 1. Additionally, they can be used for fraction and percentage exercises by manipulating the number of red and yellow counters in various scenarios. These counters open up countless opportunities for interactive learning and are a must-have in every mathematics classroom.

Educational Benefits:

• Enhances understanding of basic operations like addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
