1st Steps with Numicon, due September 2008
Notes for parents
As parents, whether or not we did well in maths at school, we want our children to do well …. but sometimes we are not sure how to help! That is why we have written First Steps with Numicon. The notes in the Kit explain the important underlying maths concepts within what may look like ‘easy’ activities plus lists the important maths vocabularly that children need to use and understand.
In maths particularly, the ideas that children meet early on when they are aged three, four and five are important for their later success, plus understanding the maths vocabularly is really important too. If your child has special needs we strongly recommend that you purchase Closing the Gap with Numicon. This Kit is specially written in very small steps with suggestions for adapting activities and is accompanied by a full teaching guide with suggestions on how to support children’s various needs.
Notes for schools who want to join the Numicon At Home Scheme
After five successful years, we have taken the opportunity to redesign and improve our popular Numicon At Home Kit. We are calling this First Steps with Numicon because it is specially designed for those working at home with young children aged three to five. First Steps includes more ideas, activities and notes for parents explaining the important maths underlying what may look like ‘easy’ activities.
