Numicon: Bag of Numicon Shapes 1-10

Product Information

If your child’s school uses Numicon, they may hold workshops to tell you how it is used in the classroom, and you can always ask your child’s teacher if you have any questions. This Numicon Shapes number bonds resource comes in a PowerPoint format, making it ideal for putting up on a whiteboard and working on as a whole class. Alternatively, if your child is learning at home you could set the resource up on a laptop or home PC for an interactive learning experience. Numicon number lines show children that each number has a different value but can be made up from smaller numbers by adding them to make a new total (number bonds).

You can then use the Numicon to introduce numbers to children, associating the name of each number with its corresponding shape, as in the image below: This set of Numicon posters is ideal for use in a wide range of numeracy and mathematics activities dealing with numbers from 0-30. 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. The Concrete – Pictorial – Abstract approach develops children's understanding of numbers by introducing written numbers in a concrete and tangible way, supporting teaching for a Mastery approach. This means that you can use Numicon to help children make important connections between numbers and the values they represent from an early age, giving them a solid foundation that will allow them to approach maths learning with confidence throughout their education. It guides children whilst they learn early maths skills whilst they’re in nursery, reception, and up.The resource combines two highly effective techniques for aiding the development of children's early numeracy skills: Numicon Shapes and number bonds. Numicon can be used across EYFS, KS1, KS2, and to help bridge the gap to KS3. Numicon’s approach to teaching maths helps children to see connections between numbers, supporting children as they learn early maths skills in nursery, primary school, and beyond. It's a multi-sensory way of learning, which means children learn by seeing and feeling. This is great for kinaesthetic learners – children who learn by doing. Numicon Shapes also help children learn that larger numbers can be made up by adding smaller numbers together. If you found counting with Numicons from one to ten helpful, then an abacus may work really well, too.

Sequencing can be a difficult thing for children to begin with, but this visual aid will get feeling comfortable in no time.

How to use these Numicon shapes to print: Tell your child how old they are by holding up the correct amount of fingers, count up to their age, using a finger each time.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. Here are just a few we think would work wonderfully alongside this Numicon Shapes number bonds PowerPoint: This brilliant Numicon ideas for early years interactive resource contains a snakes and ladders board. From one to thirty, each of the numbered titles are represented in Numicon. This game is great for helping children with number recognition whilst keeping them engaged through fun, brightly coloured illustrations! Number bonds, also known as 'number pairs', are simply the pairs of numbers that can be combined to make a given number. Teaching children about the different combinations of numbers that can be used to make numbers up to 10 gives them a solid foundation to build upon when it comes to learning about addition, subtraction, and place value. By giving children something physical – rather than just paper and a pencil – they develop confidence and a greater understanding of the concepts that they are being introduced to. Numicon helps to raise achievement across all ability levels.
