Bring early number exploration and hundred-board investigations together in one classroom multipack. Combine the Number Knowledge resources with SchoolStore’s Number Board Activity Kit for practical maths across different class stages.
What you get
- Number Knowledge resources: 30 five-frames, 30 ten-frames, 30 number lines 1–10, 30 number lines 1–20, plus 500 red and white pegs in total.
- Number Board Activity Kit: 30 EVA hundred boards, two teacher’s guides, two game-card resources, 1,250 pegs in five colours, two boxes of cubes and a storage box.
- The original printed guides by Carmel Burns predate the Primary Mathematics Curriculum (2023). Use the updated digital companion for selected current curriculum connections.
Classroom ideas to try
- Explore place value: ask pairs to show ten more and ten less than a chosen number and explain the pattern.
- Build and turn arrays: represent three groups of four with cubes or pegs and compare with four groups of three.
- Investigate a hundred: use the 100 frame to connect fractions, decimals and percentages, choosing a level suited to the class.
Invite children to explain what they notice, compare different strategies and choose equipment that suits their learning.
