Looking to transform your early years maths area into excitement and learning? Designed with EYFS and Key Stage 1 learners in mind, our Blackboard Hundred Square is the perfect companion for mastering numeracy skills, exploring basic mathematical concepts, and unleashing the joy of discovery through play-based learning.

Learners can dive into counting, tackle pattern recognition or engage in problem-solving activities that enhance their understanding of numerical skills. Just don't be surprised if they’re able to sequence numbers or solve puzzles of basic math skills, this versatile tool ensures learning stays fun and interactive.

It’s equally suited to collaborative group activities, where learners can work together on exciting challenges or independent tasks that strengthen their confidence in tackling early years maths activities. The durable surface is designed to handle the enthusiastic energy of young learners while remaining easy to clean for endless use.

For even greater impact, pair the counting square with other teacher resources like our Sorting Tinker Tray and nature’s items where they can explore more math concepts like sorting, sequences, and numeracy ks1 objectives while appreciating nature. It’s also a fantastic stepping stone for preparing learners to engage with numeracy key stage 2. A durable, practical, and inspiring addition to your early years foundation stage maths curriculum, this tool is a must-have for any classroom that values hands-on, interactive learning.

Our Blackboard Hundred Square isn’t just a learning tool—it’s an invitation to play, explore, and fall in love with numbers!
