Firm Foundations Kit
Catalogue Refs: FK (Class Kit), SUFK (One to One Kit)
Designed for all early years settings, the Firm Foundations Kit gives lots of practical ideas for helping children to develop understanding of numbers and number relationships. The Kit includes a series of multi-sensory games and
activities where pupils are taught the colours and patterns of Numicon, to
order the Numicon Shapes and to learn their number values. They move on
to ordering numerals and shapes together and then begin practical
addition and subtraction within 10.
Suitable for pupils working at P level 4 to National Curriculum level 1B.
