Description
Connectrio –“Magnetic maths for curious minds.”
Connectrio is a versatile magnetic maths resource designed to grow with your learners from Foundation Stage right through to KS1 and KS2. The set includes 30 magnetic cubes — 10 red, 10 yellow and 10 blue — that visually and physically support children in building strong number sense.
Why Connectrio Works
From the earliest stages of learning, children explore number through touch, movement and pattern. Connectrio takes advantage of this by allowing learners to build, arrange and connect cubes in ways that develop deep numerical understanding.
It supports:
-
Quantity & cardinality – recognising “how many” without counting one by one
-
Subitising – the ability to instantly see a small number of objects without counting (a key predictor of later maths success)
-
Number bonds – quickly seeing how numbers split and combine
-
Number families & fact fluency – understanding the relationships between addition and subtraction
-
Doubles & near doubles – essential stepping stones to mental calculation
-
Introduction to addition & subtraction – through building and rearranging physical structures
But the best bit?
Connectrio isn’t just for early years. These cubes remain a powerful tool throughout KS1 and KS2, supporting area & perimeter, arrays, multiplicative reasoning, problem-solving, and visual number reasoning across a range of topics.
Available for individual or home purchase, with exclusive school discounts on multi-buy orders.
Introductory Bonus – Connectrio Activity Cards
Your introductory offer includes a set of Connectrio Cards.
These colourful cards show:
-
Pre-made arrangements of cubes for children to replicate
-
Visual patterns that support subitising and number recognition
-
Opportunities to apply number facts through construction
-
Tasks that strengthen fine motor skills, spatial awareness and problem-solving
Learners can build the models, discuss what they see, compare quantities, create new shapes and explain the number stories behind their constructions, all while having fun.
