Problem Solving, Reasoning & Numeracy

Suggested Products

All our Playscope Treasure Baskets are ideal for encouraging early problem solving and numeracy skills. Indeed, several observations have shown children introducing mathematical language and concepts like big, small, weight, tall, etc. during play. When a Treasure Basket is combined with sand, water, magnets etc. endless opportunities for exploring pattern, mathematical mark-making, more less, weight etc come to life.

When further extended with the Stepping Out or Problem Solving & Numeracy Activity Cards the value of using a Treasure Basket to explore pattern, sequencing, size, weight, probability in line with the EYFS, KS1 and 2 can be seen. The Story of the Loofah offers an exciting, hands-on approach to problem solving, appealing to children and practitioners alike. The range of Sensory Bags are perfect for exploring counting, patterns, sequencing, simple fractions and number bonds.
