Number Logs Height Sorted - Set of 10

Our Number Logs with Height Sorted are here to turn maths time into a natural, tactile adventure. Crafted from natural wood, they’re perfect for sparking curiosity about numeracy, reasoning, and problem-solving. Each log is a different height, making it a fantastic tool for early years maths activities. From comparing sizes to developing basic mathematical skills, these logs have learners exploring numerical concepts.

Ideal for an EYFS maths area, forest school, or even an eco obstacle course, these logs bring the outdoors into the learning space. Their natural design fits right into a numeracy-rich outdoor shelter, adding a rustic charm to your maths shed. And let's face it, teaching mathematical concepts is far more enjoyable when surrounded by the smell of freshly cut wood and the opportunity to discuss why some logs are short and others stretch for the stars.

Perfect for hands-on learning, these logs encourage sorting, sequencing, and even simple addition or subtraction. Why is one taller than the other? How many smaller logs equal the tallest one? Add some loose parts, and you’ve got the ultimate setup for imaginative early years maths activities that tie literacy and numeracy together. Plus, they’ll hold their own in the great outdoors, though they may lose some bark and colour over time – like a veteran teacher, these logs wear their experience proudly!

With heights ranging from 3cm to 30cm and a robust 15cm diameter, these logs are built to endure enthusiastic play and discovery. From developing numeracy skills to supporting the early years foundation stage maths curriculum, these logs deliver hours of learning and fun.
