Description

The counting wheel or counting hoop is basically a circular version of the counting stick. It allows the teacher to complete similar activities to those practised on a counting stick, but with the added ‘bonus’ of being able to continuously count around the hoop if required rather than having to stop at the end of a counting stick.
