Place Value Counters

The Place Value Disks 280-Piece Foam Set is a practical primary school maths manipulative designed to help children develop a strong understanding of place value, number composition and mathematical operations.

Ideal for classrooms, maths intervention groups and home learning, these colourful foam disks provide a hands-on way to make abstract number concepts easier to understand.

The set includes 280 foam place value disks representing values from 1 to 1,000,000. It includes disks for 1, 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000, 100,000 and 1,000,000, allowing children to physically build and represent numbers across seven place value positions.

By arranging the disks into different place value columns, learners can explore how the value of a digit changes depending on its position within a number. This hands-on approach helps make larger numbers and place value relationships easier to understand.

The disks are particularly useful for demonstrating number formation, expanded numbers, regrouping, addition and subtraction.

Teachers can use them for whole-class demonstrations or small-group activities, while pupils can manipulate the disks independently to develop mathematical reasoning and number sense.

Made from lightweight foam, the disks are easy for children to handle, move and organise during practical maths activities. The reusable design makes them a valuable addition to classroom numeracy resources.
