Waldorf Family Multiplication Wheel Waldorf Family plus Maths Wheel Bundle
The Waldorf Family Maths Bundle. Comes with the: Maths Wheel and Multiplication Wheel.
Maths Wheel
Number wheels are used by children as a tool to learn and practice the times tables as well as to practice the numbers themselves.
Engaging the hands in learning and seeing how beautiful the patterns of each number are really allows children to engage with the beauty of maths. Used in Waldorf, Montessori and other schools these Maths Wheels can be used for all ages. Younger children who might not be ready for multiplication can make patterns, do counting and find even and odd numbers. Just having busy little hands will help to build their fine motor skills and dexterity.
If you are learning the tables with this tool when passing zero “0” at the top the numbers carry a unit of ten afterwards. So for example the threes: 3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30- starting with 3,6,9 then imagine a unit of ten in front of the next round so for 12 you would use the 2 space, 15 would be 5, 18 would be 8 – the same then for the next round except imagine a unit of 20, so 21 uses the space 1, 24 used the space 4 and so on. The pattern usually becomes evident.
150mm Diameter the wheel is made from 9mm plywood.

Stephanie Green’s company - Waldorf Family - is built on wonder. Ever since Stephanie was a child, she has appreciated being surrounded by nature, eating seasonal foods and watching the change of the seasons. She discovered her love for Waldorf handwork projects after the birth of her two wonderful children. It all started by collecting natural treasures and using them for craft projects. Nature is also Stephanie’s main source of inspiration for her creations. The passing of the seasons, colours, forms and shapes, the phases of the moon - all of nature’s characteristics are taken into consideration when Stephanie creates a new product. Her main goal is to create educational, hands-on and meaningful resources with a purpose which are treasured and loved by families over a long time and that help children as well as adults see the beauty and wonder in all things.
This is an educational tool and should be used with the supervision of an adult.
As the environment is close to Stephanie’s heart, she makes sure that the Waldorf Family only creates products that are made in a sustainable way from natural materials which can be returned to the earth or recycled.
