Teachables Double-Sided Counters - Yellow & Blue, 200 Pieces

These Double-Sided Counters feature two colours: yellow on one side and blue on the reverse, offering a versatile resource for a wide range of mathematical activities. The set includes 200 counters, each measuring 2.5 cm in diameter, providing ample resources for group work or individual learning. These counters are particularly useful for teaching operations such as addition and subtraction, while also supporting deeper mathematical concepts like fractions, positive and negative numbers, and probability. Their simple yet effective design allows students to visually track and solve mathematical problems. Whether used for basic calculations or more complex number theory, these counters help make abstract mathematical concepts more tangible. The ability to flip the counters between yellow and blue facilitates a hands-on approach to understanding positive and negative numbers, making learning more interactive and engaging. These counters are an essential addition to any classroom, supporting both independent learning and collaborative group work.

Educational Benefits:

• Enhances understanding of addition, subtraction, and basic operations.
• Supports learning of positive and negative numbers through visual aids.
• Helps students grasp the concept of fractions and proportions by manipulating the counters.
• Encourages exploration of probability and patterns through hands-on experimentation.

Classroom Ideas:

• Use the two colours to practise positive and negative number operations (e.g., -2 + 3 = 1).
• Introduce fractions by grouping counters and flipping them to observe fractional changes.
• Conduct a probability experiment by flipping counters multiple times and recording results.
• Randomly arrange counters and have students estimate the ratio of yellow to blue counters, then verify the answer through sorting.

Information:

• Ages: Suitable for students from Year 2 and up
• Measurements: 2.5 cm in diameter per counter
