Our Number Indents 0-9 are the perfect addition to any EYFS maths area, offering a hands-on way to introduce numeracy and basic mathematical skills in a fun and engaging way. It's time to say goodbye to scribbled numbers and hello to neat and accurate formations with this wonderful tracing tool. These indents are designed for learners who are ready to embark on their journey through the early years maths. The simple, tactile approach encourages learners to use their fingers to trace numbers, developing their fine motor skills as well as their understanding of numerical concepts.

While we know numbers don’t like to be traced into the sand (they can get a bit “gritty”!), these number indents make an excellent match for any . Perfect for those who enjoy an , where children can explore numeracy skills while getting some fresh air! Perfect for low table and bench activities and perhaps match with a wicker basket to keep the number indent tracer safe and organised, ready for the next numeracy activity. With dimensions of L15 x W10cm, they are just the right size for hands-on work, whether on a maths activity table or while sitting in a cosy corner of the classroom or garden space.

These number tracer indents not only promote basic math skills but also encourage independent problem-solving and reasoning. As learners trace, count, and form their numbers, they’ll begin to understand important early years maths concepts, such as counting, patterns, and sequence. And while you’ll be able to sit back and enjoy the results, we’re sure you’ll appreciate that each session will help sharpen their numerical skills.
