Giant Magnetic Regrouping Chart

Overview

• This giant magnetic chart includes dry-wipe spaces and magnetic place value counters to clearly visualise the maths concepts.

• In Key Stage 2 mathematics, children need to solve multi-step problems involving addition and subtraction. To support this objective, a giant magnetic regrouping chart allows teachers to model each step of the process. By using magnetic place value counters to represent each number and then regrouping them, children can see exactly how to work out the answer. This hands-on approach aligns with curriculum goals, such as identifying, representing, and estimating numbers using different representations.

• This resource engages children in interactive learning, making abstract ideas more understandable. The large, dry-wipe surface allows for easy adjustments during lessons and is an excellent tool for demonstrating column addition and subtraction.

• For children in Year 2 and Year 3, the chart with place value counters helps recognise the place value of each digit in two-digit and three-digit numbers. It also aids in teaching formal written methods of columnar addition and subtraction for numbers up to three digits.
