Schools Use Beat Dyscalculia To Get Ready for the New Curriculum in Numeracy
Since the announcement of the new national curriculum from September 2014, schools have been contacting us about using Beat Dyscalculia as the basis of their numeracy teaching.
Beat Dyscalculia uses a multi-sensory approach which appeals to a wide range of children and caters to their different learning styles. It creates solid foundations, and then allows children to build on that knowledge at their own pace, by using repetition, and using a specially designed set of tools to explore and visualise numbers, and use for problem solving.
Beat Dyscalculia Founder and Creator, Celia Stone said, ‘Our programme focusses on teaching the language of numbers which is one of the key elements of the new national curriculum. Although, it has been designed to help children who are struggling with maths and number concepts, our evidence shows that it works for any children by working in small achievable steps, letting them use different tools and methods for to explore the same ideas and functions, and allowing to work at a speed that suits them. We think it’s ideal for introducing ideas like fractions and times tables at a younger age, as the new maths framework proposes.’
In particular, Beat Dyscalculia puts an emphasis on maths vocabulary, understanding each number, number bonds and place value. The course comes in 3 boxes and uses colour, shape, sound and touch to progressively build understanding and covers:
- Numbers from 0 to 999
- The concepts of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division
- The language of numeracy
- Place value, fractions and decimals
- Money, time, and times tables

How Beat Dyscalculia Fits The New Numeracy Curriculum
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
