Learning Opportunities
Children can use the Wooden Number Discs to explore:
Number recognition
Counting from 1–10
Number sequencing
Matching numerals to quantities
Before and after numbers
Simple addition and subtraction
Sorting and ordering
Number hunts indoors and outdoors
Loose-parts counting experiences
Sensory and small-world play
Matching numbers to collections of natural materials
Daily routines, calendars and weather experiences
Pair the discs with stones, leaves, sticks, shells, counters or other loose parts to create meaningful hands-on mathematical experiences.
They are also a perfect companion to our Today’s Weather Interactive Learning Signs, where numbers can be used with Velcro dots to display the daily temperature and UV rating.
