Number Box

£115.00

The Number Box is a multi sensory teaching programme and maths resource. It was designed for the 20% of children who struggle with mathematics for one of several reasons.

  • Dyslexic children find sequential skills, organisation and spatial operations in maths more challenging, so they require physical resources and structured teaching.
  • Children who have receptive and expressive language difficulties may take longer to understand and use the complex maths vocabulary, so they need a chance to repeatedly learn new words.
  • Dyscalculic children have great difficulty understanding the concept of number at all and may stay working with the resources and programme of The Number Box throughout Primary school.

A Targeted Maths Intervention Programme

Using multi-sensory teaching methods, The Number Box comes complete with materials, record of achievement recording booklets, and illustrated instruction guide.

Teaching assistants or parents use the Number Box with individual children to establish basic concepts of numeracy, or to support groups of children who are not yet working with abstract concepts.

It works in small steps from early recognition of numbers through to using tens and units, and includes resources for teaching concepts of time, measurement, money and shape.

Based on principles laid out in The National Curriculum it can be used from Foundation Stage upwards. Teaching staff report Number Box to be a flexible intervention that they can rely on to minimise planning and preparation time and maximise teaching time with students in need of additional support.

Training is available through our partners, Understanding & Supporting Learning. Find out more here.
