Add to Cart:

Permanently gridded, 100 square floor carpet (6x6 square), on which children from Kindergarten to Grade 6, are able to develop their understanding of mathematics and language through kinaesthetic learning. Includes Number Cards.

A child's number sense grows through the patterns observed by the numerical squares Concepts are better understood when linked to actual physical movement, e.g. forward step is addition, backwards is subtraction, right step adds 10, left step subtracts 10 Many concepts, from one-to-one correspondence, to place value, to addition and subtraction with regrouping, to multiplication and division facts, can all be experienced through the constancy of the numerical squares and the walking and placing of the number cards (red side/black side).

Use and Care of The Learning Carpet-TLC

TLC should never be used as an AREA RUG! (i.e., children should not be sitting on the carpet)
TLC is a learning tool that should be used often, but rolled and tied up, grid side out, and stored when not in use.
NOTE: Children should leave a walking path or track around the mat for use by children working on the carpet.
Everyday stains can be washed off the nylon carpet using a mild detergent.
