Strengthen student understanding of numbers with the Number Sense Posters Chalkboard resource! Designed to support early numeracy development, these posters help students read, record, and interpret numbers in multiple ways, providing a strong foundation for mathematical thinking.

This set includes posters for numbers 1–30 and then each decade to 100. Each poster displays the numeral, written word, MAB block representation, tens frame, and tally marks, ensuring students can see and connect numbers across a range of visual formats. By presenting numbers in these consistent ways, learners are supported in making connections between abstract symbols and concrete models.

Perfect for display on your maths wall, near student desks, or in small group teaching spaces, these posters encourage independence and provide an anchor for number talks, warm-ups, and hands-on lessons. The bold chalkboard design ensures a cohesive and calm look that pairs seamlessly with the rest of the Chalkboard decor range.
