The Flick Stick Early Numeracy Pack, $35

Parents! Find here all the simple maths things your kids can benefit from learning & doing in the first two or three years at school. The pack contains 2 Flick Sticks plus a guide and activity booklet. The guide clearly explains.

• number recognition activities! 

• dice and board games with the Flikstik dice!

• Flikstik number line activities to 5 and then to 10, 20 and 20.

• the 'imaging' of number patterns and instant recognition of number groupings

• number-pattern games and ‘number family’ games!  See photos of children at play.

The Flikstik Maths Machine™ or ‘Fun-Abacus™’ is hi tech at the simplest level. It provides several simple but powerful models that greatly help in the early stages of maths.

• As a Flikstik Number Line (a special sort of number line) it enables children to count and add and subtract in a way that gives a very clear visual picture of what they are doing.

• As a special sort of Dice – a dice of any size to 10 - it takes children into games that give them painless practice in important counting and early-addition skills.

• As a sort of Super Dice it provides RANDOM Number Patterns – like
        with a 3-ball Flikstik children can strike all the combinations making 3. - like '2 and 1', '1 and 2', '3 and 0'.
        with a 4-ball Flikstik children can strike all the combinations making 4
        with a 5-ball Flikstik children can strike all the combinations making 5 - and so on to 10
  When games and activities are added it makes for a great new way of learning all Number Bonds to 10.

• Again using the Flikstik as a sort of Super Dice - but in a different way - children can strike
         all combinations to 11 - like '5 and 6', '7 and 4' and so on
         all combinations to 12 - like '3 and 9', '10 and 2' and so on
  When games and activities are added it makes for a great new way of learning all Number Bonds from 10 to 20.

You will  come to see that the Flick Stick can be used in many different ways including imaginative and creative ways. It can even take them into simple algebra and stats and to explore some concepts in geometry.

Children love it and we are sure you will too.
