As part of our Big Maths scheme in school we do CLIC sessions for core numeracy.  Each letter stands for an area of numeracy.

C – Counting

L – Learn Its (these are number facts which we learn so they can be quickly recalled without needing to work out the answer).

I – It’s Nothing New

C – Calculations

These are the topics we will be covering in terms 1 and 2.

Counting
