How Beat Dyscalculia Fits The New Numeracy Curriculum

Resources from Beat Dyscalculia from Addacus LtdWe’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.

Schools Use Beat Dyscalculia To Get Ready for the New Curriculum in Numeracy

Child using Addacus machine created by Celia Stone from Beat DyscalculiaSince 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
