At its simplest, it can be used for basic shape and colour recognition (including shading) and at its most complex for development of numeracy skills, in particular the understanding of the concept of parts of a whole or fractions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome examples of ways to encourage development of logical thinking and foundation numeracy skills:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLooking at and naming the shapes of all the pieces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLooking at and matching the pieces that are similar colours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy are these colours both the same but different?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor older children the concept of parts of a whole can be discussed.
