Number Catchers I (3 to 10)
Number Catchers I (3 to 10) (Product Code: SLE/LP/10) is a set of 8 semi-cylindrical bamboo holders used to practise skip counting and multiplication in primary classrooms. Each holder takes exactly a fixed number of beads, from 3 to 10, so children see equal groups as they count in threes, fours and beyond; one set serves a class of 7–12-year-olds. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, among its mathematics lab kits.

What Are Number Catchers I Used For?
A holder filled with beads becomes a single unit — “one five” or “one seven” — and that idea of a group counted as one is the step from counting in ones to multiplication. Children lay several full holders of the same size side by side and skip count along them, so “4 times 6” is literally four catchers of six beads each.
The same holders carry on into upper-primary topics. Splitting 7 × 8 into 7 × 5 and 7 × 3 with two holders shows the distributive property at work. Testing whether a pile of beads fills holders of one size exactly, with none left over, reveals factors and multiples, and numbers that refuse to split into equal groups lead pupils to prime numbers.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Whether you need Number Catchers I (3 to 10), Number Catchers II (11 to 15), or both to cover groups from 3 to 15.
- The number of classes to equip — one set is intended per class.
- Whether beads are required, as the description does not list beads as part of the set.
