Number Cards
Product Code : LSK-ML-10126
Number Cards (SKU LSK-ML-10126) are colourful, durable plastic place value cards that give a concrete representation of units, tens, hundreds and thousands. Used at the right level, they show zero acting as a placeholder and how the value of a digit changes with its position, giving primary classes a hands-on place value model. The cards come from the Science Lab Supplies factory at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, where they are manufactured and from where schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors can buy them direct.

Applications and Experiments for the Number Cards
The cards can be used to build numbers, break them into expanded form and compare how the same digit is worth more or less in different places. As maths lab manipulatives they make place value concrete, and they work equally well on a pupil's desk or held up in front of the class.
- NCERT Classes 2–3: tens and ones, then hundreds, with loose Plastic Counters Colour grouped in tens beside the cards.
- NCERT Classes 4–5: four-digit numbers up to thousands.
- Writing numbers in expanded form and back again, then checking the totals on a Simple Hand Calculator.
