Helping to Support Teaching and Learning
-
Explore number composition
The ten-space frame gives children a clear visual model for exploring how numbers combine. Practitioners can use it to introduce number bonds to ten and support discussion about parts and wholes.
-
Arrange quantities visibly
Children reposition the cubes to investigate arrangements that represent the same number, supporting early counting activities through visible, repeated practice.
-
Use two orientations
The frame works vertically and horizontally, allowing practitioners to offer varied visual orientations during counting. Children can explore position while placing the bugs in different spaces.
-
Link bugs with habitats
Nature-inspired images connect each cube with a pictured bug and its preferred habitat. The bee, beetle, butterfly, snail and ladybirds provide recognisable visual cues for counting sets.
-
Handle chunky pine cubes
Made from FSC-certified wood and chunky pine cubes, this tactile resource supports early years number activities as children practise counting and explore quantity.
