Maths Through Play
SumBlox turns maths into hands-on play where children stack, build, and explore numbers through fun and engaging learning.
- Playful Learning: Wooden number blocks encourage stacking, building, and maths exploration through hands-on discovery play
- Maths Made Visible: Heights match values, helping children understand addition, multiplication, and fractions visually
- Skills Growing: Supports problem-solving, numeracy confidence and independent thinking through open-ended play
Math a child can see, feel, and build
Sumblox, founded in 2013, turns early maths learning into hands-on discovery where children build, stack and explore numbers through play. As a maths manipulative and discovery toy, it helps children understand numeracy naturally by making abstract concepts visible, tactile and easy to explore through building.
Each wooden number reflects its value through height, allowing children to solve equations by stacking, comparing and balancing towers. Through addition, subtraction, multiplication and fractions, Sumblox builds confidence, logical thinking and independent learning through open-ended play that grows with every stage.

Never enjoyed math so much. Great for building. Numeracy skills with number recognition, adding, and symmetry.
I'm very excited about the Sumblox Mini's.
They are a great size for my soon to be Kindi child to use at the table and explore numbers. The additional activity cards are very helpful as well. Can recommend this product 👍
Seeing SumBlox, my educator hat went on. I scrutinised and judged everything I could about this product and I can't really fault it. I can see it being an amazing support for children who struggle with maths, and a wonderful way to build up number sense in children before they even head off to school. I opted for the mini-blox mainly for cost purposes (limited income), but I am not disappointed. With them ranging from 1-10cm, it's also got the added bonus of being able to teach measurement as well!! Not to mention, just having fun building towers just to knock them down, which is what my daughter is enjoying the most at this point.
I have been amazed at how much of a great addition to our collection these blocks have been. My children ages are 2,4,6 and 11, and they all show a keen interest in numbers, and these blocks have added a great dimension to not only their play (they’ve used them as prices when playing shops) but also their counting. A wonderful investment!
