We have recently used them to reinforce the concept of number bonds to 10 alongside the episode Blast Off where children built and found the number pairs for 10. I give it 10/10 – the product will last years. The cubes are durable and hardwearing. I combined two sets which is plenty for a small group of children to use. It helps when demonstrating different mathematical concepts in the classroom and also to support children alongside their maths activities. Leaving these out in the classroom as part of the continuous provision also provides mathematical play opportunities and different levels of challenge. Starting with Now in 3D, after having been thrown onto the Dimension-ator's controls by Octonaughty, Twenty-Seven now wears a purple mask with a yellow cube symbol above to symbolize she's a cube number. When she's not in a cube shape, she doesn't always have her mask on.

The ultimate set for teachers to help children master maths by bringing the concepts shown in the award-winning TV series to life in the classroom. This is the perfect hands-on, visual maths manipulative to use alongside teaching the class and also to support children when doing their maths activities. The Teacher’s Guide is a welcome addition to support with planning and the templates help to reduce workload. The children are very motivated by the product, and I have found it to really support their learning. Yes, because they are hands-on concrete materials this set can be accessed by all children. I have a child in my class with Autism. He also loves the set and making the numbers. The MathLink Cubes are also a good challenge for him to develop his fine motor skills. I have used the set in many ways in our classroom and will also plan to use them for many more mathematics sessions across the spring/summer term.the product will last years. The cubes are durable and hardwearing. I have put two sets in together which gives plenty for a small group of children to use. This resource will last a long time too so very good value for money. Please give some examples of where the product has positively affected an individual or the school? This product easily supports the number and numerical pattern development for children and enables you to support children in reaching their early learning goal in these areas. We used them for whole class teaching to demonstrate, we used them as a group to build the numbers, make a number line and I also then challenged the children to show me the numbers 11-20. Leaving them out for child-initiated learning I found the children were building the numbers and then role-playing with them like the story telling in the episodes.

The set includes 15 double-sided write-and-wipe Activity Cards that feature 30 fun, hands-on maths learning activities related to selected episodes from the TV series. The activities have been developed to help children recognise numbers, learn to count, add and subtract, discover division and multiplication, and develop problem-solving skills. is 3 cubed, and the 6th figured-out cube number to be introduced in the series, the first four being One, Eight, One Thousand, One Million, and Sixty-Four. So now having this set means the children now also have the concrete materials to build, manipulate and play around with the numbers to support their learning. The Teacher’s Guide offers a comprehensive guide to support with planning and has some very useful template sheets. This guide can easily be used by a teacher or teaching assistant.Yes, it can help meet all of the Early Years Foundation Stage early learning maths goals and also can be used into year 1 and 2 to support with many mathematical concepts.
