TEN-FRAME TRAIN

Components and Features

• Six Ten-Grid Cars: Each car functions as a ten frame, a simple matrix that allows kids to place counters in a visual representation of numbers. This encourages them to grasp the structure of the base-ten system.

• Sixty Bears: These act as counters that fit into the ten-grid cars. By physically placing the bears into the grids, children can see exactly how numbers build up from individual units to groups of ten.

• Twenty Double-Sided Ticket Cards: These cards add a playful twist, often used to instigate challenges or guide game progress. Their reversible design introduces bonus elements and variations in gameplay.

• Two Ten-Sided Dice: Ideal for incorporating random chance, the dice help children practice probability, counting, and strategic thinking in a fun way.

• One Ten-Grid Car Turntable: This feature makes it easy to shift between game modes or reset the board. It keeps the play organized and adds to the train’s interactive dynamic.

• One Arithmetic Die: Functioning as a tool to introduce elementary arithmetic operations or dictate the train’s movement, it further reinforces foundational math skills.

• Set of Four-Color Numbers: Presented in varying hues, these number tokens enhance visual recognition and can double as sorting or matching tools, adding an extra layer of cognitive challenge.

• Instruction Book: A comprehensive guide filled with games, teaching ideas, and step-by-step directions. It supports both educators and parents in maximizing the learning potential of the set.
