Touch & Match Sensory Addition Cards bring maths to life through tactile learning and visual engagement, making addition practice exciting and accessible for young learners. This unique set includes 40 self-checking match-ups divided into 4 colour-coded pockets, each designed to support early addition strategies. Students select an activity card featuring number lines, 10-frames, or arrays, and use their sense of touch to count textured dots that represent numbers up to 10 or 20. They then match it with the corresponding number card that shows the correct sum. This multisensory approach reinforces key concepts of counting, number relationships, and place value while keeping learners actively engaged. The set also includes a teacher guide to support instructional use. Perfect for hands-on learning environments, these cards are a great resource for differentiated instruction, small group activities, or independent practice. The colour coding and self-checking design promote student autonomy and confidence while reinforcing foundational addition skills in a playful and meaningful way.
