Our Numbers Count mathematics intervention programmes
We have two Numbers Count mathematics intervention programmes available to schools:
- Numbers Count – for learners in Years 1 to 3
- Numbers Count 2 – for learners in Years 4 to 9
Impact on achievement
Stormont House, a special school for children with moderate learning difficulties, has successfully seen the benefit of using Every Child Counts maths intervention programmes for over ten years. Pupils typically make eleven months progress which represents approximately eight months more than expected. Importantly, class teachers report increased levels of confidence and independence in all lessons as well as maths. At Stormont, pupils often progress from Numbers Count to 1stClass@Number which consolidates and extends their knowledge and understanding and produces similar levels of progress.
