-
Purpose: Designed to reinforce key concepts—geometry, arithmetic, measurement, spatial reasoning—via interactive activities.
-
Key Contents:
-
Plastic Strips (Type I & II), full and half protractors, geoboard with dowels and rubber bands.
-
Paper nets for 3D shapes (cube, cuboid, cone, cylinder).
-
Cutouts of parallelogram, triangles, trapezium; circle parts for fractions.
-
Plastic cubes, color counters, abacus parts, and numbered cards/boards.
-
Activities Enabled (12 total): Addition/subtraction of integers, exploring fractions, abacus use, angle measurement, parallel lines and transversals, triangle properties, quadrilateral properties, exploring area with geoboard, areas of triangles/parallelograms/trapezium, area of a circle, investigating solids' surface area/volume, nets of solid shapes. Plus two games—factors of numbers and integer operations. labappara.comstudylib.net

-
Activities Enabled (approx. 42):
-
Angle construction and measurement.
-
Verifying relationships involving parallel lines and transversals.
-
Investigating triangle properties.
-

-
Packaging & Usability: Comes in a well-organized box; comes with a manual in Hindi/English. Ideal for teacher-led exploration and student experimentation. NCERT+1
3. Early School Mathematics Learning Kit (Grade I–II & Nursery)
-
Purpose: Cultivates number sense and spatial understanding among early learners using playful, concrete tools.
-
Key Contents:
-
Items like play money, number cards, cut-outs, numbered toys, shape manipulatives.
-
Objective: Supports experiential and exploratory learning aligned with the Early School Mathematics Programme (ESMP), enabling young children to grasp numbers through play and manipulation rather than rote memorization.
