Metal Counting Chips - Pack of 100

Who knew maths, magnets and light panels could come together in such a satisfyingly shiny package? These transparent counting chips come with a hidden twist—each one has a metal rim that’s just right for magnetic investigation. Perfect for curious EYFS and KS1 learners who love to count, sort, stick and scatter.

Use them in maths areas for exploring number, patterning and early addition. Or go full treasure hunt mode—bury them in sand, pop them in a Tuff Spot Tray or scatter across a light panel and watch children engage in deep mathematical thinking disguised as full-on fun. With 100 included, there’s plenty to go round.

Also ideal for early magnetism investigations and colour discovery in Understanding the World. Just don’t be surprised if the adults start having a go, too.
