Explore our full range of Numicon resources here. And brush up on your knowledge of Numicons with our Numicon wiki. How to use these Numicon shapes to print: Numicon is often taught in primary schools as a whole-school programme, meaning it is their main way of teaching maths. Teachers use worksheets, physical shapes, online activities, and more to teach using Numicon. As well as mainstream maths teaching, Numicon is also sometimes used as an intervention programme to help children struggling with maths. If you’re looking for a primary maths programme that will work for children of every ability, Numicon offers a wealth of resources that can be used across EYFS, KS1, KS2, and to bridge the gap to KS3.

Numicon is an approach to teaching maths that helps your child to see connections between numbers. From Oxford University Press, it supports your child as they learn early maths skills in nursery and primary school. It is a multi-sensory way of learning, which means your child learns by seeing and feeling. Later on, your child will be able to see more complex mathematical ideas, like how two fours make eight, three twos make six, and so on. This lays the foundation for their understanding of number all the way through school.That's why we teamed up with Oxford University Press to bring you an amazing bundle of official Numicon Shapes and resources. Here are just a few we think would work wonderfully alongside these Numicon resources to print out. Based on a concrete-pictorial-abstract approach, Numicon uses structured imagery and apparatus to help children explore and understand mathematical concepts. Can be used flexibly alongside your existing resources, as a complete maths programme or to encourage mastery If your child’s school uses Numicon, they may hold workshops to tell you how it is used in the classroom, and you can always ask your child’s teacher if you have any questions. Has been proven to have a positive impact on children’s enjoyment as well as giving them the confidence to demonstrate how and why they arrived at their answer

Have fun with your child by playing the games in this kit together and help them to thrive at the maths they’re learning in school. Designed to work both brilliantly on its own and as a natural progression from the First Steps Kit, the activities and apparatus here will build your child’s understanding of numbers to 100 and their ability to use and talk about them with confidence.Numicon aligned to the Curriculum for Wales Foundation Phase Mathematical Development Area of Learning (PDF)
