See and Learn Numbers

See and Learn Numbers will be a visually-based set of teaching resources that will help children who have Down syndrome develop their numeracy skills.

About See and Learn Numbers

Children who have Down syndrome find learning to count and to calculate particularly challenging and research shows that their mathematics skills are routinely delayed relative to reading skills. There is some evidence that maths skills can be improved using materials that build on the children's visual learning strengths and represent number concepts and operations visually.

See and Learn Numbers will provide activities to break number learning into smaller steps, and use visual materials to support learning to count and to calculate. It will also include materials to support the teaching of time and money.

Free to use

See and Learn Numbers will be provided free of charge online by Down Syndrome Education International. Anyone will be able to download and use the programme without charge.
