The Natural Maths Sorting & Counting Kit brings together an enriching collection of natural resources and wooden tools that foster a deep connection between early maths learning and the natural environment. Combining a wooden ten frame tray and a natural sorting tray with items like coloured coconut shell flowers, branch cuts, twigs, twig chips, and plain wooden beads, this kit invites children to explore sorting, counting, classifying, patterning, sequencing, and comparison. The tactile and visually engaging materials provide opportunities for children to see similarities and differences while practising essential number concepts such as bonds to 10 and classification. Designed for children aged 3 years and older, this kit encourages open-ended investigations and hands-on learning, perfectly blending mathematical skill development with sensory exploration of natural elements.
Educational Benefits:
- Reinforces counting, sorting, and classifying using natural and wooden materials.
- Supports development of number bonds to 10 through tactile ten frame activities.
- Encourages pattern recognition and sequencing with a variety of natural elements.
- Promotes open-ended exploration and critical thinking through nature-based maths.
Classroom Ideas:
- Use the ten frame tray with beads or natural items to practise addition and subtraction.
- Encourage children to sort natural materials into the 3 x 3 sorting tray by different attributes.
- Create pattern-making challenges using coloured coconut shell flowers and twigs.
- Organise counting games outdoors where children collect natural items to use with the trays.
