Maths starts before counting
Functional Maths begins with visual discrimination and real-object concepts rather than abstract sums. Learners can respond by pointing, matching, circling or placing a card, then progress toward number and money skills.
Suitable for: Learners with autism, Down Syndrome, ADHD, intellectual disability, developmental delay, and non-verbal or AAC users—placed by current functional ability rather than age.
