Numicon: Extra Numicon 1-shapes

Product Information

Through Numicon ten-shape pattern, children can explore a number of different ways to add numbers to make ten. Children can use printable Numicon Shape Cut-Outs or concrete Numicon Shapes. Numicon ten-shape pattern is also useful for place value activities.

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. It is called 'touch' maths, as it often involves a tactile approach to learning, and caters perfectly for children that learn by 'doing'. Here are just a few more of our Numicon Shape resources we think would work well alongside these Numicon Shapes and Numerals Matching Cards: Numicon resources at home provide a perfect way to understand the basic concepts of maths children will be studying in the classroom. Through the mathematical language and multi-sensory activities of Numicon, children will begin to develop the skills and understanding that will increase their knowledge about numbers. 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

Numicon is an effective way to teach maths that helps children to see the relationship between numbers. As a creation of Oxford University Press, Numicon helps children as they are taught early maths skills in primary school and nursery. It involves a multi-sensory approach to learn. Hence, children can learn by both feeling and seeing (extended cognition). These Numicon posters also use a colour coding system. Each number from 1-10 is assigned a different colour which is then repeated all the way through to 30. This can help children to spot patterns when counting and is especially useful for developing a sense of place value within the context of tens. Based on a concrete-pictorial-abstract approach, Numicon uses structured imagery and apparatus to help children explore and understand mathematical concepts. Contains a diagnostic assessment which pinpoints activities that can be used to build a tailored programme or to support teaching where children have developed gaps in their understanding of maths concepts.

An at Home Kit is created for the parents to support children to do maths using a sequence of easy to play and fun activities to encourage learning about basic concepts of maths. At home kit is not suggested to be used for children under 36 months. Each of these Numicon posters have been carefully made by Twinkl in collaboration with Oxford University Press. This means that you can rest assured that you can use this resource to provide a top quality teaching experience while cutting down on that pesky preparation time. For another fun, practical, and sensory activity to use with your year 2 children to assist them in using number lines, you can take your children outdoors. You can then draw a big number line on the ground using chalk in the playground at school, or even on your driveway at home. Next, ask the children to compare, add, and subtract the numbers that you call out, and get them to do this by jumping on the numbers on the ground. This makes for a fun-filled, and engaging activity, and a way to reinforce using number lines in a practical way! If you found counting with Numicons from one to ten helpful, then an abacus may work really well, too. Numicon can also be used to review old concepts. Students can use this tool to practice basic math skills, such as adding and subtracting fractions and decimals. They can also use Numicon as a memory aid. For example, they could use Numicon to practice multiplying and dividing fractions.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).

Number lines are a fantastic tool for helping children with their maths learning. Number lines act as a great visual image for your key stage 1 child, so to help them to better understand the number system. That's why we teamed up with Oxford University Press to bring you an amazing bundle of official Numicon Shapes and resources. Here are just a few we think would work wonderfully alongside these Numicon resources to print out. Can be used flexibly alongside your existing resources, as a complete maths programme or to encourage mastery Numicon at home can help children to better understand maths, both prior to starting primary school and when they are at school. Numicon at home kits provide family-friendly resources and activities that are created to help children understand the relationship between numbers. Numicon at home is a great way to support your child as they learn math skills. It's a multi-sensory way of learning, which makes it ideal for young learners. You don't need to buy anything special to start using Numicon at home. All you need is a pair of scissors and a small piece of paper.

Useful resources

Fantastic as a general numeracy aid, this touch maths number line resource is an absolute must for a wide range of many maths activities. Numicon is often taught in primary schools as a whole-school programme, meaning it is their main way of teaching maths. Teachers use worksheets, physical shapes, online activities, and more to teach using Numicon. As well as mainstream maths teaching, Numicon is also sometimes used as an intervention programme to help children struggling with maths. 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 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.

Using Numicon boards, children can create different shapes and patterns. As they become more familiar with the pieces, they'll start to call them by their number name. There are indeed! We have plenty of resources to help your children develop their counting skills. And, all our worksheets, presentations and exercises have been designed by our team of qualified teachers, so you can rest assured that whatever you select will make a great addition to your teaching of the syllabus. Take a look at what we have to offer: When children manipulate something physical, not just paper and pencil, they gain confidence and a better understanding, which leads to higher achievement: over 90% of teachers agree that Numicon has a positive effect on students' learning.These Numicon Shapes and Numerals Matching Cards are a great way to teach younger children about numbers. They're ideal for helping them develop number recognition skills and are a fun way to practice counting up to 20. Sequencing can be a difficult thing for children to begin with, but this visual aid will get feeling comfortable in no time. Touch maths is a multi-sensory approach to aid children in learning maths. It is a more hands-on method of learning, that is great for children that tend to learn better by seeing things visually. Additionally, parents might want to use our resources with their key stage 1 children at home, for some additional learning to complement their studies at school. Model the language you want your child to use during this activity, such as more, less, add, fit, and same. Encourage them to use the word together (a key word in addition) to explain what they are doing. For example, ‘I am putting two and four together to make six.’
