Natural Counting Set

Looking to take numeracy to the next level? Our Natural Counting Set is the perfect tool to turn any EYFS numeracy area into a dynamic learning hub. This set doesn’t just provide an opportunity to work on basic math skills – it takes counting, pattern recognition, and problem solving to new heights, all while keeping things fresh, fun, and engaging.

Whether you're setting up your numeracy continuous provision or rotating materials in your self-selection shelves, this versatile set will keep learners captivated. Featuring over 100 resources that encourage natural curiosity, it’s like giving your learners a maths playground! Plus, with a combination of and , it’s an ideal way to foster both creativity and maths skills in one go. And don’t worry, no need to call for backup: it’s designed to cater to both small and large settings, so everyone can get involved!

With materials like branch number lines and wooden ten frames, this set lets children explore early years maths activities while developing essential numerical skills. Whether learners are solving problems with the spoon maths twist or stepping through their 0-20 stepping stones, they’ll be using their reasoning and pattern skills to create connections between numbers. Best of all, each piece encourages hands-on learning, where children can grasp mathematical concepts naturally. And did we mention it’s wipe-clean? Because we all know how messy a maths session can get: sometimes it feels like the numbers get all over the place (and sometimes, so do the snacks).

So, whether it's for early years foundation stage maths activities or those moments where you're introducing simple sums and counting, our Natural Counting Set has you covered. Ready to play with numbers? The set's a complete game-changer. Just don't blame us when your learners are more interested in maths than their favourite snack. Why not store them in our Curriculum Shed - Maths Counting Shed?
