Wooden Maths Counting & Tens Frame Set

The Wooden Maths Counting & Tens Frame Set is a fantastic tool for introducing young learners to fundamental maths concepts. Supplied with small wooden balls, this set engages children through its vibrant colours and natural wooden feel. Perfect for classroom use, the set encourages individual or group work, helping to reinforce teamwork, problem-solving, and early mathematical understanding.

The ten-frame models in this set help students think of numbers in relation to 10, which is essential for developing number sense and place-value skills. This set is ideal for practising addition and subtraction, as well as combinations of numbers that make 10. It also supports subitising, visualising groups of 5 or 2, and introduces concepts like odd and even numbers and basic algebraic thinking.

Educational Benefits:

• Develops number sense and place-value understanding through ten-frame models.
• Supports the learning of addition, subtraction, and combinations of numbers to make ten.
• Encourages subitising and visualisation of number groups (e.g., 5s, 2s, odds, evens).
• Enhances algebraic thinking by introducing early number patterns and relationships.

Classroom Ideas:

• Use the ten frames to practise basic addition and subtraction, helping students visualise the process.
• Introduce combinations of numbers that make 10, and encourage students to explore different ways to group numbers.
• Utilise the set to work on subitising, where students quickly recognise numbers without counting each individual item.
• Incorporate the set into group activities to foster teamwork and collaboration while solving maths problems.
