Not suitable for children under the age of 3 years due to small parts which could cause a choking hazard The 30 activities on the 15 write-and-wipe activity cards feature fun ways for children to use MathLink Cubes to develop early maths skills. 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.

Please give some examples of where the product has positively affected an individual or the school? 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.

Even though she has 7 factors, she doesn't have an array display. This is most likely an error while making her rig, as it is stated in her debut that she's a super rectangle. 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.Because they are hands-on concrete materials this set can be accessed by all children. I have an autistic child in my class. He also loves the set and making the numbers. The MathLink Cubes are a good challenge for him to also develop his fine motor skills. 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. She is the second character based off of her tetration, the first is Four, and the next might be Two Hundred Fifty-Six. 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.

Considering it has been played with by both my two year old and my seven year old I think there is a really good long term appeal to the product – particularly when used in conjunction with the activity cards to work on simple algebra. Do you feel the product is unique or different from other resources?Yes, whilst it bears similarities to other sorting resources, I think the “family” element gives it the edge. Most importantly… did you have fun using this product?YES!

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. The set has everything 12 pairs of pupils need to complete the activities featured in the Teacher’s Guide.
