Maths Activity Nut and Bolt Set

Overview

• Children match numbers to quantities using nuts and bolts, enhancing numerical skills and motor development.

• This engaging maths activity nuts and bolts set provides a practical approach to introducing early years mathematical concepts, including numeral recognition and quantity matching - children choose a bolt and twist on the nuts, matching numbers to quantities through 10, creating patterns or sorting by colour, building fine motor skills at the same time.

• Made from durable, easy-to-handle plastic, it offers young learners aged three to seven a tactile method to explore mathematics.

• This resource is aligned with EYFS objectives and supports the development of cognitive and physical skills, including motor skills development, by facilitating interactions with numbers through hands-on activities. Children can practise counting, sorting, and identifying patterns, which are crucial stages in their mathematical learning journey.

• The quick-release design of the nuts and bolts allows for easy manipulation, encouraging independent learning and problem-solving. It promotes a deeper understanding of early maths in a fun and interactive way, optimising classroom engagement and fostering a lasting interest in learning.
