The Magnetic Addition Machine is a hands-on teaching tool designed to make learning addition fun and engaging for young students. Simply place the machine on any magnetic surface, such as a whiteboard, and use the cups, funnels, and numbered tray to visually demonstrate addition concepts. With 20 colourful balls, a number line, and an equals sign, this interactive tool brings math lessons to life. Ideal for children in early education, the Magnetic Addition Machine supports visual and tactile learning styles, making it easier for students to understand basic math operations through play. It encourages fine motor skills, eye-hand coordination, and reinforces counting and addition. The simple design makes it an exciting way to enhance math lessons in the classroom or at home.
