Welcome to the very beginnings of this amazing way of teaching number!  It will transform your teaching!

Maths is more than counting.  Counting is one of the skills we use, but we use maths more when we think about numbers as patterns.  What we do with numbers is also based on pattern.

Children learn through play, discovery and being introduced to new ideas through conversations.

Numicon leads children into realising that maths is in every part of life. Play maths in water play, sand box, messy play, paint and art, snack time.  Have  fun! And learn!

Numicon engages children through its bright colours, intriguing shapes and engaging activities.

Children learn by how numbers relate to each other.  They know numbers by shapes, visually as well as by touching and doing things with the equipment.

"Our children love it!"

"Our boys are really engaged and talking about numbers!'

 "Our teachers know how to have meaningful conversations about maths."

"Children are learning while they are still learning English. In fact Numicon has lead children into language, with confidence."
