The SUPER SQUARES 1 exercise book is designed to encourage organisation of space, writing numbers and basic calculations.

It includes:

  • 76 A4 pages made out of thick paper, to prevent a see-through effect and to make rubbing out easier
  • on each page an arrow which indicates correct positioning and direction of writing
  • guide lines in a relaxing indigo colour which help you keep your place both when writing and reading what you have written
  • darker coloured guide lines that mark the work area most suited to the posture of a 6/7 year-old child
  • a page divided into two columns with 1 cm squares in order to optimise use of all available space in horizontal calculations
  • a white bar inside the square for learning to write figures on the right, thus making it easier to do column calculations
  • a sequence of 20 dots in two different colours at the bottom of each page for exploiting subitising
  • last page reminds children of correct grip and posture

Maxipage: is a learning tool in A3 coloured card which can be cut out, containing a didactic programme for year one, tips for writing numbers, for calculations up to 10 and drawings.




A whole other exercise book


Intelligent exercise books for the whole class

  • They facilitate writing and calculations
  • They contain didactic programmes
  • They are sturdier

This new series, produced in collaboration with Fabriano, offers a new concept of exercise book: not just something to write on but a support that allows the entire class, including children with difficulties, to approach writing and calculation, learning curricular content in a more orderly and immediate fashion.

Characteristics of the exercise books:

  • each exercise book contains 80 pages in A4 format;
  • the paper is thick, to prevent a see-through effect and to make rubbing out easier;
  • on each page an arrow indicates correct positioning and direction of writing;
  • grids and lines with relaxing colours which do not tire the eyes;
  • white guide lines to facilitate writing even for those who are unable to manage squared spaces, and to enable teachers to give clear, targeted instructions;
  • each exercise book contains a central cardboard cut-out Maxi page, with a complete didactic programme which covers the main topics of the class programme.

The SUPER EXERCISE BOOK was conceived by Luciana Lenzi and Enrico Angelo Emili (experts in the field of inclusion) and produced in collaboration with Fabriano.
