Shopping GuideIf you are a first time buyer:
Parents If you have a child aged between 1 and 5, purchase 1st Steps with Numicon at Home along with Numicon at the Seaside. The kit will also be useful for activities at school- right through to high school. When you have finished the activities in this kit, then purchase Plus Pack Kit One and then Plus Pack Kit Two. If your child has special needs then a better investment is to purchase Closing the Gap or the teaching manual for this programme. If you are homeschooling your children, then consider buying the Firm Foundations or Closing the Gap group kit initially, to give you more equipment and Numicon Homework Activities. If you have a child with dyslexia and/or dyscalculia and are wanting to support him/her at home, we recommend purchasing the Kit One Plus Pack and the Maths Bag. This will give you enough resources to begin with. Any extras can be purchased separately. If you have a child at intermediate or secondary school struggling with maths, then please contact us. Using the Numicon shapes to solve mathematical problems really helps those students 'see' the concepts and gives them the opportunity to explore and learn without the fear of making mistakes. Investigations with Numicon may be your answer.
