1st Steps with Numicon - At Home Kit
Catalogue Reference: FSNH
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 the First Steps with Numicon – At Home Kit. The Kit provides parents and carers of pre-school children (3–5) with a series of clearly illustrated activities and games which introduce early ideas about number and arithmetic.
Many schools find that new parents are keen to help prepare their children for school. 1st Steps with Numicon - At Home Kit, is designed for parents to help children's maths during the Foundation Stage and early Key Stage 1, and offers parents a series of fun and easy to play activities to encourage understanding about early number and arithmetic. The introduction to the Book of Activities explains the important maths concepts which underpin the fun and simple-to-follow activities. Important maths vocabulary that children need to use and understand is also included in the book.
Please see this link for an excerpt from the 1st Steps with Numicon Activity Book.
Our number book Numicon at the Seaside
complements this Kit through learning numbers through songs. The
numbers 1-10 are brought to life through a combination of picture and
song giving an alternative to the traditional number songs you may
already know. Both of these resources can be purchased together as a bundle at a reduced price.
Schools are encouraging parents to use Numicon At Home because they see real benefits for the children's maths and the school. So we have developed a special scheme to support this. Please contact your child’s school to see if they are part of the scheme. Schools – please see this link for further details on the scheme and how to join.
