Exploring Numicon in the Classroom 

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.

Specific Learning Objectives 

Having participated in this presentation teachers will:
