Resources in Maths

I regularly use manipulatives like Numicon, place value counters, bead strings, dice, and even a simple pack of playing cards to help children develop a really strong understanding of key concepts and fluency 'at their fingers tips' in maths skills. These resources are brilliant for exploring number sense, place value and calculation strategies in a visual and tactile way.

With over 13 years of teaching experience in primary schools, I offer a calm, friendly, and encouraging environment where every child feels valued and supported.

Concrete materials including place value counters, cubes, number lines, and base ten blocks (also called dienes) can make abstract ideas visible and tangible, allowing children to explore and understand maths through hands-on experiences.
