Colour Tile (Product Code: SLE/MAT/75) is a set of multicoloured plastic square tiles used to teach area, perimeter, counting and patterns in school maths lessons. Teachers from pre-primary to middle school use the tiles because one versatile set covers colour recognition, sorting, number operations and measurement of shapes. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Square tiles make area and perimeter visible. A pupil builds a rectangle, counts the tiles inside it to find the area in square units, then counts the tile edges around the outside for the perimeter. Rearranging the same tiles into a new shape shows that two figures can share an area yet have different perimeters — a discovery that stays with children far longer than a formula alone.
Younger children start with the colours: naming them, sorting tiles into groups, counting each group and continuing repeating patterns. As skills grow, the tiles become counters for addition and subtraction and rows-and-columns arrays for early multiplication, so a single set of these mathematics lab kits serves several years of the curriculum.
Colour Tiles are made by ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this maths manipulative rather than a reseller. Production takes place at the company’s own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and schools, NGOs, distributors and importers buy directly from that factory. Extra tiles for classroom sets and repeat orders are handled by the manufacturer itself — just ask us. Company details are on the ScienceLab profile.
To take area, pattern and counting work further, schools often add:

What are Colour Tiles made of?
Colour Tiles (SLE/MAT/75) are multicoloured square tiles made of plastic. The smooth plastic is easy to wipe clean, and the square shape lets tiles sit edge to edge without gaps, which is exactly what area and perimeter activities need.
How do Colour Tiles help teach area and perimeter?
With Colour Tiles, pupils build a shape, count the tiles inside it for the area in square units and count the outer edges for the perimeter. Rearranging the same tiles shows that equal areas can have different perimeters, backing the formulas with hands-on evidence.
What size are Colour Tiles, and how many come in a set?
The product description of Colour Tiles does not state the tile size, the number of tiles or the exact colours included. Contact us through the contact page and we will confirm the current specification of the set before you place an order.
Which age groups can use Colour Tiles?
Colour Tiles work across a wide range: young children use them for colour recognition, sorting, counting and patterns, while older pupils use them for number operations, area and perimeter. That versatility lets one set serve pre-primary through middle-school maths lessons.
Who manufactures Colour Tiles?
Colour Tiles are manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, the OEM of this product. They are made at the company’s own factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and every quotation is prepared directly by the manufacturer.
