The Sumtastics method is highly structured and multisensory. We want children to have a fantastic start, to flourish and have a life-long love of numbers.
Sumtastics is unique. Each number has a colour, a taste, a touch, a song, and a story. It is both visual and tactile. The brain naturally functions by making links. Associating a colour, smell and taste to a number provides the children with extra links to help remember them and of course it is really fun.
Sumtastics engages the children using a variety of exciting resources where the children actively take part in the learning. It develops curiosity and encourages discovery through different activities and experimenting with the numbers. Sumtastics helps children struggling with their fine motor skills.
Sumtastics focuses not only on the number sequencing, bonds, odds and even but also on number language. We act out the stories and children are encouraged to join in with role-plays and to use their imagination. The children also learn new vocabulary in the songs. Concepts are reinforced and over taught in many different ways so that they never get bored.
Having launched Sumtastics in Cheltenham and Cirencester, we are now starting clubs in North Somerset and Bristol and will look to launching nationwide. We are looking for more teachers to work part-time with us.
The clubs are for children from 3 – 6 years old. Each class lasts 45 minutes. We offer a free taster session for you and your child. Please do get in touch with us via admin@sumtastics.com or www.sumtastics.com or call 01285 740196. We are happy to start a club in your area or at your nursery.
