Makes early addition and subtraction tangible through colorful ten-frame counting play
- difficulty understanding numbers and quantities
- abstract early arithmetic concepts
- limited hands-on learning activities
- disorganized storage of small math manipulatives
Turn abstract math into confident play
Instead of guessing at quantities and equations, children build, fill, and rearrange them with colorful wooden pieces. Early addition and subtraction become something they can see and touch.
Build Numbers You Can See

Make quantities visible
Two ten-frame boards give children a clear structure for filling, comparing, composing, and taking apart quantities. The spaces make each counter easy to see and discuss.

Turn symbols into actions
Number and operation tiles let children physically arrange an addition or subtraction equation after modeling the quantities. The answer becomes something they build, not something they guess.

Practice with purpose
Addition and subtraction cards provide ready-made prompts for parent-led practice, classroom centers, and repeat play. Smooth wooden pieces make each activity tactile and inviting.

From Counters To Equations
- 1Start with a quantity
Choose a number and place that many counters into one ten-frame board. Ask the child what they notice before introducing symbols.
- 2Fill and compare
Use the second board to show another quantity. Compare the spaces and counters, then talk about which group has more or fewer.
- 3Add or take away
Place extra counters on the frame for addition, or remove counters for subtraction. Let the child watch the quantity change.
- 4Arrange the equation
Choose the matching number and operation tiles, then place them beside the frames. Use an addition or subtraction card when the child is ready for a prompt.
- 5Ask them to explain
Invite the child to show how the answer was built. The frame gives them a visible reference instead of asking them to recall a symbol alone.

Make The Numbers Click
When Numbers Feel Abstract
A child may say 4, 5, 6 in order and still stare at 4+4 as two disconnected symbols. Worksheets and flashcards can ask for an answer before the quantity has become real.
Give Every Number A Place
The ten frames turn invisible quantities into orderly groups. Children fill spaces, compare rows, add counters, and take them away while watching the amount change in front of them.
Build The Answer
With number tiles, operation symbols, and equation cards nearby, guided play becomes a repeatable path from counting to explaining. Children can model examples such as 4+4, 10-2, 6+4, and 8+2.
Simple Storage And Care
- Return every piece
Place counters, tiles, and cards back in the drawstring pouch.
- Use the storage box
Keep the pouch and boards together in the box between sessions.
- Keep pieces dry
Wipe the smooth wooden parts with a soft, dry cloth.
- Supervise play
Stay nearby and gather all small pieces after use.

Questions and answers
No. The packaging marks the set for children 36 months and older, and it contains small counters and tiles. Follow the age guidance and supervise children around every piece.
The set includes two ten-frame wooden boards, colored counting counters, number tiles, addition and subtraction symbol tiles, addition cards, subtraction cards, a drawstring storage pouch, and a storage box.
Yes. Children can add or remove counters on the frames, then arrange the matching number and operation tiles. The included addition and subtraction cards provide ready-made prompts.
Flashcards show symbols, while loose counters show objects without much structure. This set connects quantities, ten frames, operation symbols, and equation cards so children can model the whole idea in one place.
The drawstring pouch and storage box keep the pieces gathered after play. A quick count-and-return habit makes the set easier to manage and ready for the next lesson.
Yes. One child can use both boards to compare quantities or build a larger problem. Two boards also work well for partner play and side-by-side practice.
