This larger-than-life kit makes maths more fun and adventurous than youcan imagine. The hands-on element helps children to visualise andunderstand numbers, sums and shapes. There is a giant bead string tocount on, a gloop container filled with squidgy, sparkly numbers tofind, and an octopus with numbers on each of its eight tentacles. Giantinflatable numbers are a great basis for children to recognise and countthe numbers nought to nine.
As one setting said, 'The best thing about the kits was that thechildren could make up their own maths games; they were learning mathswithout realising.' Problem-solving is intrinsic to this product as thechildren work in groups to figure out answers and orders, gainingteamwork skills as well.
