Our Edx Education® Place Value Cups turn abstract numbers into something children can hold, twist and build, using their number sense and problem solving skills to see exactly how a number is put together. As children turn the cups to line up each digit, they physically feel how thousands, hundreds, tens and ones stack into one number, making place value click in a way worksheets never can and supporting early numeracy and STEAM learning.
What makes Place Value Cups special is the colour-coded system. Each place value has its own colour, so children can instantly see that 9876 = 9000 + 800 + 70 + 6. The 20 cup set gives you 4 sets of 5 colour-coded cups, and the 4 matching place value dice let children roll, read and build their own numbers, so every game becomes hands-on practice with tens, hundreds and thousands.
The play grows with your child. Beginners can start by turning the cups to make simple two and three digit numbers, then move on to expanded form, addition and place value games as confidence builds. Roll the dice, build the number, break it back down into its parts, and one number simply becomes the starting point for the next. Perfect for the classroom or the kitchen table, every twist and turn helps maths concepts stick while little hands stay busy.
