Five Frame - Pack of 2

Make numeracy a breeze with our pack of two Five Frames. Perfect for EYFS settings, these super-sized trellis-style frames are the ultimate tool for bringing mathematical concepts to life. Whether you’re delving into counting, exploring patterns or solving early years maths challenges, these frames are a sturdy, versatile, and visually engaging addition to your early years maths area. Fill them up with large wooden counters, leaves or even small toys from the outdoor learning space—your learners’ creativity will do the rest.

The beauty of these Five Frames lies in their simplicity and scalability. Use them individually for focused work on the value of 5 or join them together to explore the relationship between 5, 10, and beyond. This versatile tool is not just about counting; it’s a gateway to introducing reasoning, problem-solving, and patterns.

Incorporating these frames into your EYFS numeracy games helps children build numerical confidence while strengthening their basic mathematical skills. Want to go cross-curricular? Why not incorporate some literacy and numeracy skills by asking learners to create a story about the objects they’ve chosen to fill the frames? With their robust design, these frames are perfect for use in outdoor and indoor settings—ideal for those unpredictable British weather days.

Don’t just count the objects—count the smiles as your learners grow their maths skills, reasoning abilities, and problem-solving strategies. These frames may be simple, but they’re a giant leap forward in early years maths curriculum resources. And let’s face it, maths games are always more fun when you’ve got oversized props to play with!
