newmero BRICKS - Math Toys - Preschool Education for Boys and Girls of 3 4 5 6 7 year old - (27 pieces)

A fantastic piece of kit for early maths. With my teacher hat on, I wish I had this in my classroom earlier. I have used the traditional rods and cubes and the newer plastic pieces with finger holes and this new design seems to combine the best bits of both and adds more. With my parent hat on, I am pleased to have a useful maths aid for my children to use as they like at home, and they do!The pieces are very robust and well made. Each piece features a digit (with a straight 9 and a curly 6), the corresponding number of bumps at the top and a key shaped pattern on the side. SO tactile. Different colour pieces represent units, tens, hundreds and thousands and they are stackable making them perfect to illustrate place value. The key shaped sides fit together for number bonds to 10, 100 and 1000 and the bumps at the top are countable and physically demonstrate the amount that the number represents.So far my 5 year old has happily played games involving which number is the largest, checking number bonds to 10 or 100, creating and comparing 2-digit numbers, creating repeating patterns, sorting sets of numbers and counting in 1s, 2s and 3s. With older children I would use them to consolidate understanding of 3-digit place value and decomposition, and using the blocks for addition and subtraction. On the other end of the scale my 1 year old has even used them to practice sorting colours. I’d recommend these to parents and schools for children aged 3-9.

I got these for our young son, and as you can see from the photographs he absolutely loves them, they are very brightly coloured and very robust, they make learning fun, and he hardly realises he's learning, he just thinks he's playing a game.Its an excellent buy, definitely recommend this for anyone with pre school age childrenEven his older sister enjoys playing games with them when he puts them down

I bought the newmero bricks for my 7 years old girl who had problems with mathematics in school.After playing and doing exercises, she got a much better understanding of the numbers and the math. Now, I am also using the bricks with our youngest daughter (5 years).I highly recommend it.

Genius!This game is very intuitive for children and my kids immediately got it. Math is logical and this games teaches children how to add up.A must for all children - take a look at YouTube and see how this game can be played. So simple.

Innovative and very fun. Kids love touching the bricks, counting and starting on the adventure it is to understand and do basic math.
