  1. Developing Maths SkillsThrough NUMICON Holy Rosary Catholic Primary School

  2. Counting Is Easy, Isn’t It?

  3. Doh, Ray, Me … • Sing along with the Doh, Ray, Me sequence… • Start at ‘Soh’ and continue the count. • Now start at ‘Me’. • Now… start at ‘Te’ and go backwards. • How many steps are there from ‘Ray’ to ‘La’? • Count back from ‘Soh’ to ‘Doh’– how much was that? Now try again, but use the number line! Doh Ray Me Fah Soh La Te Doh

  4. Good knowledge of the number system Know number bonds Partition numbers into multiples of 1 10 100 Quick recall of times tables Ability to multiply and divide by 10 and100 Use of inverse operation Key skills needed by Good Calculators Presentation slide

  5. NumiconA multi-sensory resource to Support Learning and Teaching in Number

  6. Rationale behind Numicon • Quality first learning • Progressive • Inclusive • Children can: • Understand number relationships • Do calculating without counting • Learn mathematical language in context • Make connections to use and apply their understanding

  7. Numicon imagery - motivated representation structured to reveal relationships between numbers and to help children to make connections

  8. Numicon imagery plays to children’s sense of pattern … and draws their attention … seeing a pattern is at the heart of mathematical thinking…. … recognising and creating patterns is often difficult for children who have SEN …

  9. Feel inside the bag can you find the pink shape Find number 3 Find the number which you add to 6 to make 10

  10. Initial Brain Storm of Teaching Ideas • Using feely bag to find various numicon shapes • Hide numicon in sand /water • Press shapes into playdough/clay • Use as templates to make numicon cookies • Use base boards to create a pattern photograph and ask other children to copy • Paint and print repeated patterns • Represent numicon patterns using different media i.e beans • Make numicon the currency in the shop area. • Use balance and measure out equal bonds

  11. My initial brain storm of teaching ideas • Order numicon on a numberline • Complete the different numicon numberline • Make the story of 6 using numicon shapes • Adding numbers bridging through ten • Place value partitioning 2 digit number • Doubling numbers • Adding 2 digit numbers • Putting sets of a particular numicon shape to see how many make e.g.12 • Making numicon towers to represent multiplication

  12. YOUTUBE contains lots of sample videos of NUMICON use

  13. Bridging through ten.. • Using addition facts of 10 and other numbers to bridge a multiple of ten

  14. Moving into bigger numbers Place Value 24 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lj3Yg1TbA8

  15. Towards written methods - addition

  16. Extend to more complex additions

  17. Subtraction – using difference

  18. In Conclusion • Understanding of numbers and the number • system takes place when the learner makes • cognitive connections between concrete • apparatus, images, symbols and mathematical • language • Structured imagery can support children to make • sense of numbers • Structured imagery can support children in • developing calculation skills and can support • children in learning to calculate without relying • on counting
