Number Sticks
Number Sticks (Product Code: SLE/LP/15) is a set of 200 sticks with rubber band and a wooden dice, used to teach place value by bundling and regrouping tens and ones in early primary maths. Designed for up to 4 children aged 6–9 years, it turns the carry-over and borrowing steps of addition and subtraction into something children can see and handle. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as a junior lab kit for primary school number work.

What Are Number Sticks Used For?
Children count out ten loose sticks and bind them into a bundle, so “one ten” becomes an object they can hold rather than a word. A number such as 16 is then built as 1 bundle and 6 loose sticks, which is its expanded form made concrete. Reading the bundles and loose sticks back as a written number connects the objects to the digits.
The 0–5 wooden dice adds a game element: as sticks are collected, ten loose ones must be bundled before play continues, which is carry-over in action. In subtraction the reverse happens — a bundle is opened to give ten ones, which is exactly what borrowing means. Once children can explain these moves with sticks, the written algorithm makes sense instead of being a set of rules.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many sticks are in Number Sticks?
Number Sticks contains 200 sticks, together with rubber band for bundling them into groups and a wooden dice marked 0–5 for the game. A write-up with details of the activities is also included in the set.
What age group are Number Sticks for?
Number Sticks are intended for up to 4 children aged 6–9 years, the stage when children first group objects into tens and ones and learn to add and subtract with carry-over and borrowing.
How do Number Sticks teach carry-over and borrowing?
Number Sticks teach carry-over by having children bundle ten loose sticks into one ten, and borrowing by opening a bundle back into ten ones, so each step of the written algorithm matches an action with real objects.
What is the dice in Number Sticks used for?
The wooden dice in Number Sticks is marked 0–5 and is used for a place-value game, adding a chance element that keeps children counting, bundling and regrouping sticks as their totals change from round to round.
