How Does Number Pyramids (Prof. Kortenkamp's Learning Blocks) Work?
With Number Pyramids (Prof. Kortenkamp's Learning Blocks), primary school children can discover mathematics in a playful, hands-on way. Number pyramids are a well-established exercise format in primary school maths lessons. With these maths building blocks, children can now build number pyramids themselves instead of simply writing numbers into pre-printed spaces on paper. The principle is simple: the sum of two adjacent blocks gives the number on the block directly above them. The familiar interlocking system keeps the blocks securely in place and allows children to build, modify and explore number pyramids independently, again and again. The different colours of the blocks make mathematical relationships visible and tangible. This makes addition and subtraction fun to practise and allows children to explore mathematical rules through hands-on activities. The blocks’ high-quality tactile design turns learning into an active experience – whether playing alone, in pairs or as part of a group.

Build Number Pyramids, Calculate and Discover Mathematical Relationships
Hubelino Learning Games combine the fun of familiar interlocking building blocks with engaging educational content. Number Pyramids (Prof. Kortenkamp's Learning Blocks) focuses on actively discovering mathematical relationships. Children build their own number pyramids, try out different number combinations and explore the connections between addition and subtraction through play. The accompanying activity book offers a wide range of discovery tasks and ideas for working with number pyramids. The activities introduce children to mathematical concepts and encourage them to develop their own solutions, explain relationships and test their predictions. Alongside mathematical skills, they also develop important process-related competencies: discovering, explaining, inventing, investigating, reasoning and communicating. Building and experimenting make numbers and arithmetic operations visual and tangible. Children can explore mathematical structures for themselves and see how changing individual blocks affects the entire number pyramid. This means they don’t just calculate – they actively discover and understand mathematics.

Learning Through Play with Maths Building Blocks
Number Pyramids (Prof. Kortenkamp's Learning Blocks) helps children practise addition and subtraction through play. The focus is on independently building and exploring number pyramids. Children can try out different numbers, experiment with solutions and discover mathematical relationships for themselves. The different colours of the blocks make it easier to follow the number pyramids and help children recognise their underlying structures. By connecting the blocks, children can test their own approaches, correct mistakes and develop new strategies for solving problems. Step by step, they can build a deeper understanding of numbers and arithmetic operations. In addition to fundamental mathematical skills, the game also encourages concentration, logical thinking and problem-solving abilities. The discovery tasks prompt children to ask questions, make predictions and share their mathematical discoveries with others. This turns arithmetic into an active learning process in which children can shape and explore mathematics for themselves.

Hubelino Learning Games in the Classroom
Whether in the classroom, in small groups or during home schooling, Number Pyramids (Prof. Kortenkamp's Learning Blocks) can be used in a variety of ways. The building blocks come in a high-quality case with a practical carrying handle, making it easy to pack away the learning materials after a maths session and take them wherever they are needed. The tried-and-tested interlocking system keeps the blocks firmly in place while children build and calculate. The maths building blocks are also compatible with standard interlocking building blocks from other manufacturers, offering primary school children a familiar, hands-on way to explore arithmetic problems.

Made in Germany – Hubelino Quality
Like all Hubelino products, Number Pyramids (Prof. Kortenkamp's Learning Blocks) is manufactured in Germany to the highest quality standards. The high-quality, robust building blocks are designed for long-lasting use, making them suitable for regular use in schools, nurseries and other educational settings. Hubelino Learning Games are more than just toys – they are tools that help children understand and actively shape the world around them. To achieve this, Hubelino works closely with child development experts, educators and parents to ensure that its learning games meet everyday needs and incorporate modern learning approaches. In this way, familiar play with interlocking building blocks becomes a versatile learning experience that makes mathematics tangible, understandable and, above all, enjoyable.
