5-Frame Tray

This 5-frame version allows children to explore counting, number patterns to five, related addition and subtraction facts, and, in the process, increase their mathematical understanding. Size: 380 x 80 x 20mm. Age Suitability: 3 Years +

Reasons to Love:

• This simple resource is key in helping children to develop fluency in counting up to 5, one of the key aims of the early year’s curriculum.

• Help children start devising mathematical problems, as well as emphasising empty sets and the concept of nothing or zero.

• Children can use this resource to begin estimating. i.e. how many spaces of the frame are taken up/left and also to investigate means of simple addition and subtraction within 5.
