Helping to Support Teaching and Learning
-
Sequencing work cards
Choose a work card, add the missing wooden bead or beads, then turn it over to check the sequence. This supports structured pattern practice with clear feedback.
-
Six shapes and colours
Six shapes—square, triangle, rectangle, circle, star and diamond—come in four colours, supporting shape recognition and structured colour-matching activities.
-
Develops fine motor skills
Threading supports fine motor skills through controlled hand movements. Handling the beads while choosing shapes and colours links physical activity with visual recognition.
-
Progressive card difficulty
Colour-coded work cards span three levels of difficulty, giving children a clear progression as they complete sequences. Turning each card over provides an immediate way to check the answer.
-
Recognising common shapes
For Mathematics at Key Stage 1, match and sequence the six named shapes to practise recognising and naming common two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes.
Wooden Lacing Shape Beads
A wooden lacing bead set with shape, colour and sequencing work cards for matching activities.
Overview
Practise shape recognition, sequencing and fine motor skills with six shapes, four colours and graded work cards.
Children choose a work card, add the missing wooden bead or beads and turn the card over to check the answer. This sequence-based activity brings shape, colour and pattern decisions together, while the lacing format supports hands-on participation in early years maths resources.
For Key Stage 1 Mathematics, use the six named shapes to support recognising and naming common two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Matching a bead to a work-card sequence encourages children to notice shape properties and apply geometric vocabulary during a focused shape matching activity.
The work cards use colour coding across three levels of difficulty, allowing progression through sequencing tasks. Turning a card over checks the completed answer, while FSC® certified solid wood beads provide a stated material feature. Threading also helps develop fine motor skills.
