Build a visible connection between counting, order and calculation with these double-sided 1–10 EVA number strips. One side is numbered and the reverse is blank, giving children room to explain their own representations.
What you get
- Pack of 10 number strips, numbered 1–10 on one side and blank on the reverse.
- Soft, durable EVA material.
- Compatible Number Board pegs and Connect a Cubes are sold separately.
Classroom ideas to try
- Count and match: ask children to place one peg in each space while saying the numbers, then match a spoken number to its position.
- One more, one less: mark six and ask children to show the numbers immediately before and after it.
- Complements to ten: fill four positions from the left. How many spaces remain, and how can the strip show four and six make ten?
Invite children to explain what they notice, compare different strategies and choose equipment that suits their learning.
