'1, 2, 3!'

1. THE FLICK STICK 'PRE-SCHOOL MATHS PACK' gives children visual hands-on pre-school maths experience that they enjoy while giving them also what they need to make a good confident start in maths when they commence school.  Further information  

2. THE FLICK STICK 'EARLY NUMERACY PACK' (K-2) provides countless visual hands-on games and activities that take children into almost all areas of maths in an exciting new 'Number Family' way. The Flikstik can BE or REPRESENT all Number Families to 20! Children love it. Educationists applaud. This is our premier resource. Further information

3. THE FLICK STICK 'TABLES' PACK (1-3):
A visual hands-on way of getting into tables. Children will successively build a table, then play 'the game' for that table (and start getting it into memory), then do pencil and paper activities designed to ensure accuracy, then speed with accuracy. The Flikstik can BE or REPRESENT ANY & EVERY TABLE! Further information

4. 'KIWI MATHS' BASIC FACT LEARNING RESOURCES are for students needing to work on memorising basic number facts. This is more a workbook than Flick Stick approach. Doc Rainey methods focus table by table on 1) accuracy using an 'error-free' method, then on
