How math toys enhance interactive and experiential learning?

Toys such as the RainbowRoute™ Magnetic Sorting Table contain physical aspects that can be moved and manipulated by children to help them feel the math. That is, it helps children to really learn and remember the abstract concept by making it something they can touch and feel.

Which ones of these Math toys are most appropriate for young learners?

Key is to choose fun toys at the appropriate stage of development. EcoCount™ Wooden Counting Set: Makes introduction to basic counting and number recognition. ShapeQuest™ Creative Shape Puzzle: Makes discovery of geometry and problem-solving fun and engaging.

What is the best way to integrate math toys into daily play?

Incorporated as part of play routines, math toys contribute extensively toward enhancing the learning values of the toys. For instance, in a standard play session, a ShapeQuest™ Creative Shape Puzzle can be applied in teaching shapes and spatial relationships in an informal setting. Items can also be sorted, classified, and counted using a RainbowRoute™ Magnetic Sorting Table in a relaxed setting.

Moreover, math toys form an excellent opportunity for family bonding.
