Place Value Discs - Set of 280

Colourful counters for mastering maths! This set of 280 place value discs assists in visualising the often difficult-to-understand concept of place value. Each disc is assigned a colour according to its place value, making it easy to recognise and use. The visual nature of the discs helps students track their progress as they practise addition and subtraction by grouping numbers together. One side of each disc clearly displays the value, while the other side remains blank, making them versatile enough to be used as regular counters for sorting and counting activities. The set includes 280 foam discs, with 40 discs each from ones to millions places. Each disc measures 2.5cm in diameter.

Educational Benefits:
