How Beat Dyscalculia Fits The New Numeracy Curriculum
We’re currently working our way through the Government’s proposals for a new Numeracy Curriculum in Primary Schools and are pleased to announce that Beat Dyscalculia can be used to teach everything except mass, weights, capacity and volume measurements and geometry.
In fact, our multi-sensory approach takes the more abstract elements of numeracy that aren’t naturally multi-sensory (unlike weighing or measuring something) and makes them concrete, fun and easy for children to investigate and understand. It focusses on many of the aims of the new curriculum including
- making sure that children are fluent in the fundamentals of maths,
- that they can reason and solve problems for themselves,
- and that they work at their own pace and consolidate understanding before moving on
- and in fact it also meets some of the literacy objectives by including stories, songs and poems and focussing on the language of numbers and maths
We’ve created a table (downloadable as a pdf below) showing how Beat Dyscalculia can be used to teach the Year 1 curriculum and will add tables for the other years as and when we’ve completed them.

Classroom Packs Now Available in our New Online Shop
Buy Now and Get Up to 15% Off!
Over Christmas we launched a new online shop on our Beat Dyscalculia site (and already we’ve had enquiries and orders from Zambia and Australia!). In response to feedback from some of the schools we’re working with (several of whom are now using Beat Dyscalculia with whole classes to deliver the numeracy curriculum), we’ve now added a selection of Classroom Packs. These are designed to extend the Beat Dyscalculia packs so that you can work with groups of children from small groups to whole classes. Each pack contains:
We’ve created packs with the right number of resources for either 3, 6 or 10 pupils, at a discounted price (compared to buying each item separately). Several packs can be bought together to make up the right number for your class.
We’ll be adding Classroom Packs for Boxes 2 and 3 shortly.
And we’ve now added all 6 Beat Dyslexia books (our original step-by-step, multi-sensory programme!), which, as the authors, we’re allowed to sell at a very competitive price!
If you are interested in finding out more, please contact us.
The Shop
The shop also currently sells our main items:
Payments can be made via credit card or PayPal.
We’ll be adding more items in due course, but in the meantime, if you’re interested in buying anything that isn’t listed, please contact us.
