More About Games with Counters
Among our products are tabletop board games such as race car rally, buzzle games, and spinner games. Some of our larger board games include cyber attack, mathematics games, and social skills board games. We also sell a range of maths class kits for years 1-2, 3-4, and 5-6 which contain counters amongst other equipment.
Counter games are useful for teaching subjects such as addition/subtraction, multiplication/division, sorting, grouping, and pattern making. Counters are a great stand-in for numbers and are therefore useful for practising number equivalency.
Activity Ideas
Try Playing Pretend!
My classroom shop kit allows your students to set up a pretend store! This kit includes fake money, a calculator register, and counters to mimic real business essentials. With this equipment, students can learn how maths applies to real life.
Weight it Up
The primary bucket balance and pan balance are measuring scales. Try placing different counters in each bucket to observe and study the varying weights. This is a great tool for learning both science and maths subjects.
