Numicon is an approach we use at Haughton School to teach maths/numeracy. It helps children to see connections between numbers as they learn early maths skills. Numicon is a multi-sensory way of learning, which means children learn by seeing and feeling.
Physical resources like the colourful Numicon Shapes are an important part of Numicon. The holes in the Numicon Shapes represent the numbers 1 to 10. When they are arranged in order, children can easily see connections between numbers, such as ‘one more’ or ‘one less’.
Numicon is effective and fun! You can find out more about Numicon here:
