Sandpaper Numbers are tactile learning materials for children to trace and learn to write numerals. They come in a quality timber box. The Sandpaper Numbers material provides an activity to prepare the child for writing.This is a tactile activity, the child guides their hand to trace their fingers along the sandpaper surface that shapes each numeral in the precise style and direction that each would be written. Writing includes two different kinds of movement. Initially the user will learn to reproduce the form and then learn to handle the instrument of writing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis set of Sandpaper numbers 0-9 are produced on green timber product cards and are contained in a quality crafted timber box that provides an attractive display and easy access for the child. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePackage Size and Weight: 17cm x 13cm x 13.5cm, 1.19kg\u003cbr\u003e This is an Authentic Genuine Montessori material, it is a teaching aid, not a \"Montessori toy\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003eRecommended Age Range\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTypically introduced between 3–6 years for foundational numeracy; extended use in 6–12 for advanced concepts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003eKey Learning Outcomes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcrete understanding of quantity and symbol.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction to place value, operations, and sequencing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndirect preparation for arithmetic, algebra, and geometry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003ePurpose of the Material\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo offer children a tangible experience of mathematical concepts, moving from hands-on work to abstraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003eHow It’s Used\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduce the material with a clear, focused demonstration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuide the child to explore step by step.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourage repetition to build confidence and internalisation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtend to operations or variations when ready.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003eHow to Present the Activity\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInvite the child to work with you.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDemonstrate carefully and slowly, naming each step.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIsolate one difficulty at a time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffer the work to the child and observe quietly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003eExtensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduce related maths materials for deeper exploration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombine with language lessons for integrated learning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourage games that apply the concept in daily life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003eTips for Home Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse consistent language for mathematical concepts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllow repetition without correction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake maths concrete with daily objects (measuring, cooking, counting).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003eMaterial \u0026amp; Safety Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eAlways exercise extreme caution and care, never leave a child unattended and without adequate supervision with any of the equipment or material advertised on our website and catalogue.
