15+ toys for homeschoolers to build numeracy

A lot of our experience with math has been similar to literacy but more so thanks to the natural interest and hands-on activities we've done.

Melissa & Doug Numbers Sound Puzzle 
A self correcting puzzle that teaches order and introduces quantities 0-20. Also check out these number puzzles. These are both great when the child can identify quantities of objects.





Learning Resources 120 Board
This is a step up from a traditional hundred board, teaching that numbers carry on from 100 in the same fashion as 1-100. It can be used for teaching skip counting too.








Scholastic Numbers Learning Puzzles
self correcting puzzles expand and compile everything to do with counting. Check out this set for addition and subtraction. If your child is interested in counting money, there's this money set also (only in USD)


Didax Educational Resources Sandpaper Numerals

This is a great help to keep math and writing separate. Also, here is a number construction kit, similar to the letter construction kit we shared on the list of literacy builders.






Lakeshore Learning Place Value Activity Kit
A good place value mat can be hard to find, this looks fantastic for recognition and math skills. Everything is colour-coordinated which helps kids who need the visual.




Singapore Math's Place Value Disks
There are many brands of place value disks, but I chose to share this one because its a large quantity from ones to millions. Also check out these decimal place value tiles.







Place Value Flip Chart
This one has both ones to millions and thousands to thousandths.







 
Melissa & Doug Add Subtract Abacus
 This has addition on one side and subtraction on the other, its self correcting by limiting how many beads can be used. 








Unifix Cubes Ten-Frame Trains
they only come with a handful of cubes, so you can find those here. Teaching guides for kindergarten  and up are available too.
