We have the Strawberry Donut Magnetic Arithmetic Donut or as little mate likes to call it numbers donut.
These are just as good as I thought they would be! Both my boys have a natural affinity with numbers but especially big mate. He could barely talk at three, but was doing double digit additions in his head quicker than me at four.
So i love adding play items that lean into this special interest.
My first thought process was for multiplication- but of course these truly are an open ended resource and can be used so many different ways. Any which way you chose ( + × ÷ - ) and also for completing more than one if you make the rule two levels (example = x 2 - 1 and show a few answers and have the child try end guess what the two numbers would be to equal the answers). Obviously can use this donut resource for entry level maths learning or complex maths if you make a complex rule.
Definitely Already had lots of use here from both boys!
