Description
This open-ended set encourages creativity and can be used in various ways to support early math learning.
The trays link together, adding a fun, multisensory element to math practice.
Each set includes 10 stackable, double-sided trays that are compatible with dry-erase markers (sold separately) and wipe clean easily.
Plus, a Getting Started Guide with 5 early math activities to help you make the most of the set!
The Stackable Sensory Number Trays are designed to support a range of essential early math skills, including:
- Number Recognition: Helps children recognize and name numbers from 1 to 10, strengthening their ability to identify numbers in various contexts.
- Counting: Through counting activities, children practice one-to-one correspondence, helping them understand that each number corresponds to a specific quantity.
- Number Formation: The textured paths guide children as they trace each number, improving fine motor skills and reinforcing correct number formation.
- Sequencing: Encourages children to arrange numbers in the correct order, supporting their understanding of numerical sequencing and patterns.
- Hand-Eye Coordination: Tracing and counting activities promote hand-eye coordination as children focus on aligning their hand movements with the numbers and counting objects.
- Fine Motor Skills: The action of tracing with dry-erase markers strengthens small hand muscles, improving grip and pencil control.
- Problem Solving & Logical Thinking: By exploring different ways to use the trays for counting and number activities, children develop early problem-solving and logical thinking abilities.
- Multisensory Learning: Linking the trays together introduces a tactile element to learning, engaging multiple senses (touch, sight, and even sound) for a more comprehensive learning experience.
These skills set a strong foundation for future math learning and overall cognitive development.
