Threading Numbers and Letters

Threading Numbers & Letters – an interactive, hands-on way to boost early numeracy and literacy skills while having fun. This educational resource is perfect for EYFS settings, helping children develop key numeracy skills, all while threading and counting in a practical, exciting manner. Who knew learning numbers could be so ‘threading’ fun?

This number line comes with sturdy, colourful discs that can be threaded onto the rope, allowing children to practice counting in 1s and 2s while also noticing number patterns. Not only will they develop their understanding of numeracy, but they’ll also get a good grip on pattern recognition, making it a fantastic tool for reinforcing early years maths concepts.

This resource is a perfect match for numeracy KS1 activities or a playful addition to the EYFS numeracy area, where learners can develop basic mathematical skills through hands-on activities. If you’re looking for a way to make learning engaging and interactive, this threading set will be your go-to tool. And let’s not forget how well it pairs with our Log Number Counters or the Threading Cookie Line for extra excitement in exploring maths skills and mathematical concepts.

The compact disc size (3cm diameter or 30x30mm) makes it easy for children to manipulate, while the included rope ensures they can keep everything neatly in place. And don’t worry about the mess – this resource is durable, easy to clean, and made for repetitive play. It's practically built for EYFS numeracy games!

Now, enough with the puns – let’s get to the numbers, literally. This threading set is perfect for schools and nurseries looking to introduce or reinforce basic math skills. It’s simple but powerful, offering a hands-on way for learners to grasp early years maths and mathematical concepts, which are foundational for future learning in numeracy key stage 2.

Features

• Disc Size: 3cm diameter or 30x30mm: Perfect for little hands to thread, the discs are durable and easy to manipulate, ensuring children can practice numeracy without frustration.
• Included Rope: The threading rope is long enough to hold a variety of number patterns, providing ample space for learners to arrange their numbers and letters.
• Interactive Design: An engaging, hands-on activity that lets children physically interact with numbers and letters, making abstract concepts feel more tangible and real.
• Versatile: Suitable for use indoors or outdoors, the threading discs can easily be incorporated into various learning environments, whether in the classroom or the early years maths area.
• Durable Construction: Built to withstand the rigours of daily use in early years settings, ensuring a long-lasting addition to your teacher resources.

Benefits

• Supports Numeracy Skills: By threading numbers in sequence, children reinforce their understanding of numeracy, learning to count, recognise patterns, and build a solid foundation for early years maths.
• Encourages Problem Solving and Reasoning: As children create their own number lines or letter sequences, they’re also developing critical problem-solving skills and reasoning, key elements of the EYFS numeracy curriculum.
• Develops Basic Mathematical Concepts: From identifying numbers to understanding counting patterns and sequences, this product is designed to nurture a broad range of early maths skills, making it a great fit for numeracy KS1 and numeracy key stage 2.
• Boosts Literacy and Numeracy Integration: Not only does this resource support numeracy, but it also incorporates literacy by allowing children to work with letters, blending both literacy and numeracy skills in one activity.
• Ideal for EYFS Settings: Perfect for early years maths activities, this product is designed to engage learners in both structured lessons and free play, helping children master the basics of maths while having a blast.
