Developed by Eunice Pitt, with the assistance of the staff and pupils of Belmont Primary School this resource is a welcome addition.
The resource has been published by CCEA and now completes this early years mathematics package. It will be used by Numeracy Officers from the five Education and Library Boards and teachers across NI to ensure that young children in NI have fun while learning maths.”
