In a choice of designs, The Addition Mat is ideal for individual practice, group activities and interactive learning stations. It is perfect for concrete mathematics activities, allowing students to utilise manipulatives such as counters, Unifix or MAB blocks to gain a greater understanding of the addition process and the relationship between addition and subtraction.
