    For students beginning with Numicon as Year 7's or 8's

    For the students are still at the old Level 1 and 2, use the Big Ideas programme as a catch-up. This will enable them to jump into Numicon 5 and onwards...
    Follow this suggested sequence beginning each week with Numicon 4, then extension into Numicon 5 and 6.  The sequence is likely to continue from Year 7 into Year 8, or for Year 8's into Year 9
     
    For your first year, we recommend that you follow one book and reach into the books above and below for differentiation
    At this level, you will have a wide range of ability.  Your top flyers may want to continue on their journey from previous years.
