Exploring Numicon in the Classroom 5.11.24 - Cancelled

The aim of Numicon suitable for primary and post-primary teachers is to make numbers real for children through them being able to see and touch them. It fits in with the Maths Mastery approach that's used in many schools, providing a concrete object to represent each number. It also has a multi-sensory approach that's known to help learning.
Teaching and learning with Numicon requires children to be active - to actively learn and to do the mathematics for themselves. Doing mathematics (i.e. thinking and communicating mathematically) with Numicon, explicitly involves illustrating in every activity through exploring relationships.

Learning Outcome:

Acquire a comprehensive working knowledge of how the unique materials that comprise Numicon can be used to explore and develop a broad range of key mathematical concepts with their pupils;
Revise, refresh and utilise the key pedagogical approaches to the teaching of mathematics;
Better devise, resource and deliver mathematics lessons that are hands-on and full of potential & possibility for discussion and conversation.
