Increasing numbers of schools in New Zealand are Australia are successfully and enthusiastically using the Numicon programme.

By purchasing Group Kits along with extra resources and Teaching Guides, software for interactive whiteboards, homework activities, programmes for secial needs and those requiring intervention and remediation, all children are being satisfied and successful in their learning.  

 Research proves this. The NZ Numpa programme works well augmenting this programme. The patterns are different from the Make-a Tens patterns, but that is not a problem. Experience has shown that most children prefer the Numicon patterns to the Numpa patterns.

If parents at your school wish to have their own equipment for homework and to support their child's learning, then the most economical way is by purchasing Maths Bags to reinforce the Numicon Homework Activities programme with supportive activities at home.

There are group kits for up to 6 users and one-to-one kits for a single-user, classroom options and homework activities supporting all children in an inclusive environment. No one is left out!

The programme begins at Early Childhood level.

Children enjoy Numicon at the New Entrants level when they first begin school.

Getting started with the kits

Welcome to the getting started section of our site. To give those of you who are new to Numicon and our maths resources the best start and to support those of you looking for a few ideas we have decided to stream video introductions to each of our core kits.
