Free Maths Equipment Storage Labels

Free Printables

Free Maths Equipment Storage Labels are a simple way to organise your classroom and help students take responsibility for maths materials. When equipment is clearly labelled, students know exactly where to find and return manipulatives, saving valuable teaching time and keeping your classroom tidy.

This free pack is a sample of our full editable set and includes colourful labels in three different sizes. Each size is designed to work for a range of storage tubs, trays, and containers.

Free Maths Equipment Storage Labels

What’s Included in the Free Pack?

The free storage labels come in three sizes:

  • 6 to an A4 page – large labels with 98 colour images
  • 2 to an A4 page – extra-large labels with 98 colour images
  • 20 to an A4 page – small labels with 90 colour images

Each label features a clear picture of a maths manipulative or material, making them accessible for Foundation–Year 6 students, including those who are still developing reading skills.

The full editable version includes labels for 96 different maths manipulatives and materials, giving you flexibility to customise names and add your own resources.

Teacher Pro Tips for Storage Labels

  • Laminate your labels to keep them durable and wipe-clean.
  • Use Velcro dots or magnetic strips so labels can be removed or swapped as storage changes.
  • Colour-code your bins by subject or material type (e.g., red for maths manipulatives, blue for STEAM, green for classroom supplies).
  • Print extras of the most-used labels — like dice, counters, or pencils — so replacements are ready to go.
  • Involve students in setting up labelled storage; when they help organise, they’re more likely to take responsibility for returning items.

FAQs – Classroom Storage

Smart strategies for organising manipulatives, centres, and supplies in the maths classroom.

What’s the best way to store maths manipulatives?
Clear plastic shoe boxes are ideal for storing individual sets of manipulatives such as counters, dice, or coins, because students can see exactly what’s inside. A rolling storage cart with drawers is another versatile option that keeps materials organised and mobile, perfect if you move between spaces or share resources. For smaller items like coins, place value discs, or mini erasers, individual containers such as cups, makeup jars, or small tubs work well. Larger or less frequently used resources can be grouped and stored in clearly labelled bins or on shelving so they’re easy to find when needed.
How should I organise maths centres and games?
Keeping maths centres tidy is much easier with a system. Labeled tubs or bins make it simple to group activities by unit or skill so students know exactly where to look. Smaller centre materials can be placed in gallon-sized Ziploc bags along with a title page and recording sheets, which keeps everything together and ready to use. Another option is to store all the materials for a single maths game in a box with a clear label, so students can grab it quickly and independently.
What are some general classroom storage tips?
Making the most of your space is key. Utilising vertical space with tall shelving units or wall-mounted racks is a great way to store items you don’t use every day while keeping your main areas clear. An over-the-door shoe organiser is another clever trick, turning the back of a classroom door into extra storage for small items like calculators, dice, or whiteboard markers. Finally, consistent labelling across all bins, tubs, and shelves ensures that students can find what they need and return items to the right place, keeping your maths classroom organised day after day.
Why do storage labels make such a difference?
Storage labels reduce clutter, save valuable lesson time, and encourage student independence. When manipulatives, supplies, and games are clearly labelled with both words and images, students know exactly where to find materials and where to return them. This means less time searching for lost resources and more time focused on learning maths.
