This is a set of six collecting, matching and domino games covering counting, number recognition, matching shapes, positional language, number order and 'one more than', designed for use with small groups of children.

Tested by St Michael's School, Barnstaple, Devon

'The children were immediately drawn to these games and they have helped them to reinforce their number recognition in a very visual and fun way. They especially enjoyed playing the hedgehog game using positional language. The games have unlimited possibilities and the instruction booklet clearly set out the learning outcomes. One child thought up new games by changing the rules. All in all, one of the best resources I have used for developing simple mathematical concepts.'
