Numicon: Bag of Numicon Shapes 1-10

Product Information

Numicon has become part of what I do when teaching maths. It has become an integral part of maths lessons because it works! However did we teach maths before Numicon? - Maths Coordinator, Chandlings Manor School, Oxfordshire 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. Put the smaller shape on top of the bigger shape, and encourage your child to count the difference between the two shapes (i.e. to count the holes in the bigger shape that are not covered). Helps children to reason mathematically through the use of concrete objects and spoken language to explain and justify.

Welcome to all those who have bought a Numicon at Home First Steps Kit, a Next Steps Kit or want to know more about them. Thanks for getting in touch and letting us know how much you liked this resource.

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. If you're not a big fan of Numicon, you really should be! From EYFS right through to KS1 and beyond, this multi-sensory resource is the perfect tool for developing children's early maths skills, and counting abilities and introducing them to a new way of learning.You can build on this by taking away larger numbers (for example, holding your finger over two holes) when your child is confident with the process of taking away 1.

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 My first activity to introduce subtraction involved using a ‘feely bag’ (an big bag that you can’t see through). As with addition, it helps if your child is already familiar with Numicon shapes when you introduce the idea of subtraction because otherwise the activity might seem a bit confusing.

This kit provides all you need to give your child’s early maths learning the right start, with carefully designed activities and games you will enjoy doing together. The kit includes a 100-square baseboard, 52 coloured pegs, 32 shapes, 10 numeral cards, three threading laces, picture overlays, a feely bag, an inspiring activity book, and more.

Numicon Shapes are a series of flat shapes which have holes in, each representing a number between 1 and 10. My three year old is not ready for this stage yet, so her big sister (age 6) had a go with me. Here are some of the activities we tried out that were most successful. These activities use resources from the 1st Steps with Numicon at Home Kit, but if you don’t own the kit you can still follow along with these free cut-out Numicon shapes. 1. Number towers Ask your child to find the shape that matches the pattern that is left. For example, if the original shape had a value of 6 and you held your finger over a hole, your child would need to find a shape with a value of 5. This activity helps your child see that numbers can be made up of multiple smaller numbers, and will give them a go at adding different numbers together to get a total. 2. Number bonds Encourage your child to explain what is happening using mathematical language – the difference between, smaller than, leaves, equals , and so on .The kit includes dice, 60 coloured counters, 21 numeral cards, 30 shapes, a large table-top number line, and more.

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. Designed specifically to help parents support their children’s maths progression in Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1. 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.
