Reading numbers is a game within the reach of all children, because whoever counts by one can also count by thousands or millions.  Learning to read numbers with Numerary, a book- tool from the Analogical Method, is even easier than learning to read words. Reading numbers, in fact, is a skill that does not involve calculation skills. Children can recognize very large numbers even before they know how to add 4 + 7. Furthermore, there are just 10 numbers, unlike the letters of the alphabet. Thanks to this tool, it will be enough to know some simple rules to be able to decipher the numbers infinitely and then discover, with amazement, that you can also read the prices of supermarket products.
Inside the tool you will find the code to access the digital Numerary app.

How to use the tool?
You start with all of the cards raised.  Turning them  and, turning them around one at a time, you count by one, ten, one hundred, one thousand … You then move on to consider the same amount by varying its place: 5, 50, 500, 5 000.
The next step is to lower two cards in different positions and read “a thousand and one, a thousand and ten, a thousand and forty” as if with a simple composition of words.
This continues until all the cards have been moved to get the surprise of the resulting number.
The part dedicated to reading money is an experience where the reference to value is direct. The meaningfulness of the link with real life is perceived, and this gives a further impetus to learning. Abstract units disappear, replaced by the strength of real cents, tangible with their known value.

The digital numerary
Along with the tool you will find the code to access the new digital numerary app, for tablets, PCs and IWBs, to master this skill even faster with the simple touch of a finger or click of a mouse. The skills that are also developed through the manual use with the paper tool are thus strengthened in the digital version.
