 Maths
Extra Limited was established in 2003 to produce good
quality resources and publish teaching materials for children
with special educational needs (SEN) and those in mainstream
schools.
Vikki Horner, the Managing Director, has worked in
the SEN sector for 16 years motivated by the birth of
her second daughter Charlotte, who was born with Down
syndrome. Vikki has worked ceaselessly to help with
her daughter’s development and set up a Consultancy
business in 2001. Since then, she has supported many
other children, their parents and their child’s
school by sourcing practical resources and providing
training and advice in their use. She travels throughout
the UK and abroad presenting training workshops on Stern’s
Structural Arithmetic method and also on the Charlotte
Clock method of teaching children about Time.
Maths Extra now has a small, expert team, who work with
Local Education Authorities, Primary Schools, Nursery
Schools, Early Years Groups, and Parent Support Groups
across the UK providing consultancy work, assessment
material, full customer service and on-going training.
Maths Extra focuses on the need for children to learn
through “insight and discovery”. Using Stern’s
teaching programmes, children discover the meaning of
concepts for themselves and as they do, they develop
a wide range of skills such as: mathematical reasoning;
visualization skills, hand-eye co-ordination; spatial
awareness; receptive language, and auditory memory.
Children perform actions at every step using concrete
materials, developing solid foundations on which to
build.
