Maths Boats - Set of 10

Aye aye, Captain! Our Maths Boats are here to transform your maths sessions into an exciting maritime adventure.  These Maths Boats acts as 10’s frames with 10 boats in each set.  They’re perfect for EYFS classrooms, numeracy ks1, and even numeracy key stage 2. Learners can load up their “passengers” (think counters, felt balls, or small toys) to practice key maths skills like addition, subtraction, and reasoning. 

These beautifully crafted wooden boats are not only ideal for early years maths activities, but they also provide an engaging way for learners to explore mathematical concepts like counting, numeracy skills, and patterns. Crafted from natural wood, these boats are a tactile treat and a visually pleasing alternative to plastic. Whether learners are exploring numeracy games or strengthening their basic mathematical skills, these boats are always ready to row into action.

These boats fit seamlessly into any early years maths area and are the ultimate addition to your maths station. Their thoughtful size and design make them easy to use in both indoor and outdoor settings, so the fun doesn’t have to stop with a bit of drizzle!
