Our delicious donuts are a hands-on, open-ended maths tool designed to bring number work to life on your classroom whiteboard. Bright, engaging and built for real classroom use, they support everything from early counting to more complex operations!

Whether you're teaching beginning learners or extending confident learners, they adapt with ease, making maths interactive, visible and easy to explore across independent tasks, partner challenges or whole class activities.

Match with Time To Teach's worksheets: Donut Forget Your Tables (FREEBIE) or Rounding Whole Numbers and Decimals.

Ideas for Use:

  • One-to-one correspondence using counters/loose parts/other magnets.
  • Build addition/subtraction/multiplication fact fluency. Simply change the centre number and operation e.g. 7- or 2x and complete like a regular number wheel.
  • Number bonds e.g. make 10, 20 or beyond.
  • “What’s My Number?” Students follow a sequence of operations from a starting number e.g. "start at 12, subtract 2, divide by 2" etc. Where do they end up?
  • 1-12 number Bingo! Roll 2 dice, add together and cover the number on the donut. The first to cover all spaces wins!
  • Daily donut check-in on the whiteboard. Allow students to rate their confidence or wellbeing by marking how they feel around the donut. Where's everyone landing? Any outliers?

Features:

  • 20cm diameter, large enough for whole class visibility on your whiteboard.
  • Thick, durable acrylic with a write and wipe surface for everyday use.
  • Strong magnet means no slipping & naturally encourages vertical play & body movement. 
  • Open ended format to adjust numbers and operations for any level.

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!
