Product Information

Again there are cards showing different random combinations of cubes and the child can build their own to match. We and our partners use data for Personalised ads and content, ad and content measurement, audience insights and product development. The Set includes: 100 x cubes measuring 2cm (10 cubes in 10 different colours) and a parent/teacher activity leaflet from Learning Resources. If writing down all the sizes of toys it might be fun to make a graph to see what the average toy size is. One of the cards in the kit has a great activity where the child can create several random shapes and then fit them together to make a cube shape.

The activities below can be used in conjunction with the cards provided in the Mathlink Cubes activities starter set and some can be add on ideas to keep children’s interest. Sometimes my eldest struggles with adding and subtraction when using mathematics apps like Mathseeds. For example, I will ask for a quarter of my eldest’s set, which he hands over, then he asks for 6/10ths and so on. We’ve talked a little about what DNA is and eldest loves to connect it together at Glasgow Science Centre.Mathlink Cubes from learning Resources are great for helping children learn about different maths concepts. As it’s autumn we can create a graphs of different types of leaves or leaf colour using blocks to count them and place above. There are a few cards with patterns to copy in the pack, but you can also take this further with creating your own patterns.

It’s a good idea to go through the cards within the kit first and then add on to these with further ideas that interest the children. If you would like to change your settings or withdraw consent at any time, the link to do so is in our privacy policy accessible from our home page. I’ve given my children a stick of blocks with one pattern and then they can either copy or add more to the end of the cubes. This adds an extra dimension for older children and gets them to think a little more about how the pattern should be completed. Make a pile of different coloured cubes in the middle and then let the children sort them into the correct piles.

Using Mathlinks Cubes you can easily talk about splitting a set of blocks in half, quarters, thirds or whatever fraction you want. From counting and sorting to multiplication and area, these colourful cubes are a valuable tool from Reception Year to Key Stage 2. We’ve had great fun using Mathlink Cubes for learning different ideas and even just for play as cakes and sprinkles! We do use food to talk about fractions, cake is a particular favourite, but then that’s probably not always the best idea!
