THE 4 CORE SKILLS

According to Ben Harding, CLIC is fundamental to mathematical development because this is the learning sequence through which we all develop numeracy.

CLIC is a sequential programme of daily basic skills for numeracy. Implementation of this programme ensures that all children have a constant, daily drive to up-level their numeracy.
