Giant Outdoor 20 Bead Strings 200cm

An excellent resource for taking maths outdoors.

A 20 bead string that can be hung outdoors to encourage children to practise their counting whilst playing.

Bead strings are a perfect example of how numbers can be shown as a concrete representation of a number line. Children will have the lovely kinaesthetic experience of pulling them up and down the string, which makes this a truly interactive resource and fantastic for engaging children in activities. It is important for each child to manipulate the beads for themselves and not simply watch the teacher or other children. Easy to clean, Bead Strings can be used in many ways to support the important core concepts, but are sometimes undervalued and underused.
