Take early years maths beyond the worksheet with Agatas Outdoor Maths Box from Cosy Direct. This 120+ piece set brings together wooden discs, sticks and maths frames for hands-on counting, sorting, pattern-making and problem-solving, with a storage crate to keep resources together.
Set up a counting challenge under a tree, explore repeating patterns at an outdoor table or bring the crate indoors for small-group numeracy activities. The open-ended resources give children opportunities to handle quantities, test ideas and talk through their thinking.

Learning through play
Invite children to count collections, compare quantities, sort by chosen features and build repeating patterns. Use the maths frames to organise counters, explore number relationships and encourage mathematical reasoning.
Shared activities create opportunities for cooperation, communication and problem-solving. Children can explain their choices, compare approaches and develop confidence with early mathematical language through practical play.
Activity ideas
- Create a repeating pattern with discs and sticks, then ask a partner to continue it.
- Sort resources into groups and compare which has more, fewer or the same number.
