This interactive maths resource includes six durable 32 cm x 32 cm bases and 100 number tiles, all made from sturdy polyester with anti-slip rubber backing for added classroom stability. Designed specifically for children aged 4 to 7, the set offers a hands-on approach to learning that helps build number sense, quantity comparison, and early problem-solving strategies. The large tiles are easy for little hands to grasp, and the vibrant numbers support number recognition and understanding of the addition process. As students manipulate the tiles and construct addition problems directly on the mats, they are actively building fluency in early numeracy concepts through movement and play. Whether used individually or in collaborative group settings, this set enhances engagement, supports kinaesthetic learning, and encourages exploration of numerical relationships. Its versatility allows it to be adapted for both teacher-led instruction and student-directed activities, making it a valuable addition to any early years or Foundation maths program. The set is also ideal for differentiated instruction, enabling learners at different levels to progress at their own pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEducational Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces foundational addition concepts in a hands-on, visual format.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePromotes number recognition and quantity understanding through tactile play.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports development of problem-solving, sequencing, and patterning skills.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforces fine motor control and spatial reasoning in early learners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassroom Ideas:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse the mats for hands-on addition practice during numeracy rotations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlay number matching games using tiles and spoken quantities to reinforce number sense.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRun addition races where students solve simple problems using tiles against the clock.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncorporate the tiles into story-based word problems for real-world maths connections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInformation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAges: 4-7 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasurements: Each base measures 32 cm x 32 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42238297866353,"sku":"SPP188","price":173.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/7633\/6753\/files\/spp188_carry-on-early-addition-set_v1_3.webp?v=1760000779","url":"https:\/\/teaching.co.nz\/products\/carry-on-addition-set-portable-maths-kit","provider":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
