As part of our Big Maths scheme in school we do CLIC sessions for core numeracy.\u00a0 Each letter stands for an area of numeracy.<\/p>\n

Try counting by saying the numbers up to 10, 20 or beyond if you can manage. If you can go forwards, try going backwards. You can also count actual objects, making sure you count each one once to get the correct total, or try to find the number 1 more or 1 less.<\/p>\n You can also practise the learn its and it’s nothing new by asking What is 1+1? and What is 2+2? What is double 4? or What is double 5?<\/p>\n I have added some resources below which may be useful for practising CLIC at home.<\/p>\n Counting<\/strong><\/p>\n
