Key benefits to schools - The Structural Arithmetic Programme was carefully designed for ALL children from 3 upward by child psychologists and mathematicians (elementary maths). A child's development of cognitive functions and skills are central to all learning and are constantly stimulated when using the Stern equipment on a daily basis. The specifically designed materials enable children to understand number knowledge and mathematical concepts quickly. It can significantly improve the learning ability and learning potential of all children especially if implemented in reception classes, even better from Nursery age. Click here

Pupils with SEN or Disability (SEND) - It is particularly important to begin working with numbers as early as possible in concrete and structured form. These pupils will not be equipped to deal with abstract information because of deficits in cognitive functions and skills. Their operating ability would be within the sensory-motor period of development which requires constant multi-sensory input. If used daily, you will see progress in cognitive development and number knowledge in one single term even though there are pupils in schools today who have spent 8 to 10 years where little of no progress has been made.

Key benefits for parents - If you are searching for resources to give your children a head start with numbers and arithmetic prior to entering school, look no further! Our hands-on games and activities found in Stern's Structural Arithmetic Kit A will provide hours of excitement and fun for all the family. Your children will explore the world of numbers from placing blocks and cube patterns into wooden devices, in a structured, visual and tactile way. These 'thought provoking' materials enable children to experiment and explore the meanings behind numbers such as size, position and quantity or value of each number. Building the staircase enables children to discover the order of the blocks as well as names of the blocks to 10. Working with number representations before numerals (symbols 1, 2, 3, 4 …. 10) are introduced will demystify and make visible the abstract nature of numbers! Invest in your child's future understanding now. Don't wait until they have wasted 3 or 4 years in school through lacking of understanding.

Why choose the Stern

Structural Arithmetic

Programme?

  • Stern's equipment develops a child's natural sense of numbers and number concept
  • Stern stimulates, encourages or strengthens a child's cognitive learning systems - required for meaningful learning to take place - through visual, auditory and kinaesthetic teaching and learning
  • The equipment and measurement approach makes obvious the relationships between numbers and number patterns
  • number facts are processed more quickly as 'recall' from long-term memory, saving time and space in working-memory for ongoing processes. This makes for quicker and more efficient calculation
  • Stern's specific number structure as seen in the Pattern Boards enables children to see pattern in numbers, visualise connections between numbers, perceive structures within numbers and picture base ten structures.
