Numicon builds a deep understanding of maths through a multi-sensory approach, developing children's fluency, reasoning and problem-solving. Numicon apparatus provides structured images to enrich number understanding. These 3 magnetic strips (each 30 cm × 2 cm) can be cut up and stuck to Numicon Shapes for use on a magnetic board.
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?
