This write-on/wipe-off mat is great for visual learners because it gives them space to write out and visualize addition and subtraction problems, counting, and simple fractions. The durable, flexible plastic mat is double-sided, with a number line with 11 blank hashmarks on one side, and a long rectangle (representing a whole) on top of two shorter rectangles (representing parts) on the other. The mat measures 12" x 9". Write-on/wipe-off markers not included. ~Rachel E.
