Slate, Plastic, French Style, A4 Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Slate, Plastic, French Style, A4 (Product Code: SLE/CS/017) is an individual A4 writing board for students, printed with 1cm squares on one face and French-style “double-ligne” handwriting rulings on the other. The ruling guides letter height and slant, which makes it well suited to schools teaching cursive handwriting in the French tradition, while the squared side serves for numbers and simple drawings. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, a school laboratory equipment supplier in India that also produces classroom writing materials, and is packed in boxes of 20 slates.

Specifications

Typical Use

On the ruled side, pupils form small letters within the 5mm double line and let ascenders and descenders reach into the 8mm lines above and below, using the right-slanting guides to keep a consistent cursive slope. Teachers can then flip the slate to the 1cm grid for number formation, counting squares, simple shapes and early area work. Because it is written on with an HB pencil and cleaned with an eraser, the same slate can be reused for practice lesson after lesson, saving exercise-book pages for final work.

The slate is stiff enough to rest on a child's knee, which helps in classrooms where desks are shared or lessons take place outdoors. Wash the slates in water when pencil marks build up and dry them flat before stacking them back in the box. Education departments preparing a classroom or lab equipment tender in India often list slates by box so each class of up to 20 pupils receives one set.
