For the beginner mathematician.
Master number sense and learn counting, addition, subtraction, & place value with this tactile number toy set.
AGE RANGE: 3 - 7
MULTI-AGE MATH SKILLS:
- Use it as a number puzzle: Toddlers learn counting & number correspondence.
- Use it as an addition tool & math material: Children in preschool, early elementary, primary school will be able to understand the concept of number parts & wholes and practice this up to number 20. They will progress from seeing addition as being an abstract idea to concretely adding & subtracting on their own using the ten-frame number panels.
MULTI-SENSORY NUMBER EXPLORATION: Our "ten-frame" panels helps children learn how to compose & decompose numbers in relation to 5 & 10. The wooden pegs and movable number pieces reinforce number concepts and provides a visual and tactile framework to see, feel, and understand the math behind the toy.
REINFORCE MATH FACTS: Our addition & subtraction flashcard set helps children test their number sense and provides opportunities to review the concepts they are learning.
- 10 number panels
- 59 odd & even-designated matching pegs (cylinders for odd and cuboids for even)
- Matching number tiles 1-20
- + - = tiles
- Flashcard set (26 cards)
- Free access to our downloadable 50-page Beginning Math Ten Frame Worksheet Set. For more info click HERE.
Made with durable, repurposed solid rubberwood from Thailand & New Zealand pine wood.
Finally, a numeracy toy that grows with your child.

Our Counting Pegs math set is inspired by the Montessori philosophy that toys & material should be multi-sensory, self-corrective, and natural. This math toy helps establish a strong numerical foundation by emphasizing visual recognition of number value.
Allowing children to build upon their learning in logical, connected stages makes learning more fun & exciting.
VERSATILITY for Multi-Level LEarning
Counting Mastery & Number Recognition
Develop one-on-one correspondence between the written number and its value.
- Learn to count by placing each peg into the hole
- Match, re-order, and self-check
- Number charts in set encourage self-correction
Odd & Even Number Identification
Introduce your child to the difference between odd & even numbers. Our odd / even design helps with pattern recognition and prepares children for addition, subtraction, multiplication, etc...
- Odd # boards = circle holes + matching cylinder rods
- Even # boards = square holes + matching cuboid rods
Ten Frame Panels Develop Number Sense
Our number sorting toy promotes creativity, exploration, & the opportunity to create multiple touch-points for learning. This same set can will grow with your child.
The ten frame math design helps children identify the number of things in a set by quickly looking at them vs. counting. This learning skill is called "subitizing" and is an important math skill in preparation for addition.

WHAT IS TEN-FRAME MATH?
Our number toy is based off the design of the ten-frame model. A Ten Frame is typically used in math for 4-7 year olds - kindergarten, 1st grade, and up.
Ten Frames help children visualize number values. It is a graphic tool constructed by a rectangle made up of 2 rows of 5 squares. Ten Frames help give meaning to numbers as children learn how to compose & decompose numbers in relation to 5 & 10.
Ten frames develop the skill of subitizing(the ability to identify a number value by visually recognizing it as a whole instead of counting). For example, we subitize when we can recognize the numbers on a die without needing to count each individual dot.
Subitizing is the pre-requisite for addition. The holes on our Counting Pegs number panels are arranged in a controlled ten frame design. Once your child is able to correctly "subitize" the value of each board, they can then move on to addition, etc...
Move Them, Hold Them.
Customize your learning experience.
The cut-out rectangles on each of our panels provide flexibility in learning. This area can hold different types of math counters. Use the original wooden number tiles alone or any object that can fit for your double-counting (pebbles, beans, pom poms, beads, cereal, etc...).
For younger learners still working on number correspondence, the number tile can be matched with the panel first before the child pegs.
Thereafter, number pieces can be used by themselves, mixed & matched, and in any way that fosters critical ordering skills.
