Step 1: Linking Pegboard

During these exercises the child is to (listen) to the instruction; the child then creates the pattern onto the pegboard using the pegs (do); the child then describes what they have done to develop language (say); then finally they (draw) the pattern onto the dots sheet to develop pen control.

Unlike in steps 2 & 3 which both use 10 x 10 gridded boards, for the first step we begin with a 5 x 5 gridded pegboard. This is to introduce the programme to the child gently, starting off with simpler patterns.

In step 3 we move from a pegboard onto a lacing board. The threads are inserted into the 300mm x 300mm board using the triangular applicators. This develops the muscles in the fingers associated with handwriting. The joined pattern making closely resembles cursive handwriting.

Pegs to Count Up: Exploring Numbers 1-5

•

The most recent Education Endowment Foundation reports on improving mathematics had the use of manipulatives and the mathematical modelling as a key recommendation as a driver for improving standards at EYFS, KS1, KS2 and into KS3. Pegs to Count Up is one of the manipulatives that you could use, it will compliment other resources you have in school such as Cuisenaire rods, place value counters etc.

Exploring Numbers 1-5 Nexus School of Thought By introducing coloured rods that each represent a different number to the pegs, we can make ‘Pegs to Paper’ a much more dynamic resource for teaching early maths. Includes write on/ wipe off tiles and a series of work cards.

Children can develop motor skills and pen control whilst having fun creating pictures. Using the magnetic applicator pen, lift up the metal balls within the pad to create an image onto the surface. The metal balls can then be pushed back down into the pad with either a finger or the side of the magnetic applicator to refresh the canvas. The hexagonal applicator supplied with the board includes a nickel coated, sprung loaded, strong neodymium magnet Images can be generated from either the imagination or can be copied from one of the 20 x work cards included with each MagnePad. The Nexus MagnePad is great for those who are visually impaired as it provides sensory feedback for sound and touch. Braille can also be written onto the board which helps with communication. The metal balls are safely housed with the grid of the pad, ensuring the balls do not fall out. Each board measures 315mm x 255mm.

Our premium handwriting pencil. Designed to be used once the basics of handwriting have been mastered with the larger HB handwriter. Non slip quality wooden slats with 7.2 mm diameter leads.

Item Code: 103800 Age: 3+ Contents: 1 box of 72 pencils.

Nexus School of Thought Our triangular pencils encourage the child to pinch the pencil with thumb and first finger, with the middle finger behind (making a dynamic tripod) with an open and stable thumb web space. The chunkier handwriter is designed to withstand any heavy-handed use by the infants. Pupils should then move onto the premium non-slip Natural Writer.

Designed as a beginner handwriting pencil. The specially developed triangular shape has slightly rounded edges to help when sharpening in a standard twin hole sharpener. The lead diameter has been reduced to give optimum width when writing but still strong enough to withstand the rigours of the classroom.

Nexus School of Thought Our ‘Triangular Handwriters’ come in two different sizes. The smaller 118mm is designed for the youngest children first learning to write, providing a more natural size for smaller hands. Once the children have outgrown the smaller size, they can progress onto the 166mm. We recommend the Nexus ECO Writer for children who are struggling with pen control and require extra support. This model is very comfortable to grip and writes beautifully. Refill cartridges are available in packs of x 30 and come in both blue or black ink.

Nexus School of Thought The three double-sided A4 boards in our range have each been designed for a specific purpose. Writing with chalk helps to develop handwriting due to the resistance on a chalkboard, so we designed the A4 Writing Board to work with our triangular chalks whilst also functioning as a traditional whiteboard for our whiteboard pens on the reverse. The A4 Grid Writing Board has been recently developed to provide a similar option but with a gridded whiteboard side which helps to tighten up writing even more with the additional lines. Lastly, the A4 Buff Writing Board also includes a series of printed lines to practice handwriting. The anti-glare buff shade has been designed to help pupils who may struggle with white backdrops such as dyslexic and dyspraxic children. This board is also magnetic which also provides play value.

Mathematics Time & Measurement

Nexus School of Thought Children can use the Abacus beads for basic maths operations, as well as measuring distances and also the height, length and diameter of objects. We have 4 types of Abacus bead sets. The Children’s 10/20 Abacus bead string and Children’s 100 bead string class sets are conveniently packed in 30s to suit the average classroom size, whilst the teacher Abacus bead sting set is ideal for teachers to demonstrate with. The latest addition to the range is our upcoming cubed abacus beads which will provide an innovative new way to teach area.

Innovation for Education

The Abacus was in use for centuries before the adoption of the written modern numeral system. Around the world, they have been used in education as an aid in teaching maths and arithmetic. Children love to measure things and to explore the perspective of different objects.
