Welcome to all those who have bought a Numicon at Home First Steps Kit, a Next Steps Kit or want to know more about them. Simply print off the Counting Numicon Shapes worksheets and cut out the Shapes for children to investigate. What are Numicon Shapes?

These printable Counting Numicon Shapes worksheets are perfect to use to help children with their counting skills and begin to recognise the relationship between numbers. 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 activity helps your child see that numbers can be made up of multiple smaller numbers, and will give them a go at adding different numbers together to get a total. 2. Number bonds The other way to explore subtraction with Numicon is by taking away part of a shape. For example, you could: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.’ The kit includes a 100-square baseboard, 52 coloured pegs, 32 shapes, 10 numeral cards, three threading laces, picture overlays, a feely bag, an inspiring activity book, and more. Can be used flexibly alongside your existing resources, as a complete maths programme or to encourage mastery 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.

Extra activities and resources have been provided for the First Steps Kit, the Next Steps Kit and for anyone with both kits, which you can go straight to here: If you're not a big fan of Numicon, you really should be!

Have fun with your child by playing the games in this kit together and help them to thrive at the maths they’re learning in school.

Engage children with digital learning

On top of these quite formal activities, you can also teach your child about adding and taking away through conversation, books, play, and songs. My little girl loves singing along to the songs in the Numicon At Home kit and holding up her fingers to count along! We have tried to make these songs part of her bedtime routine to help her get used to counting. Based on a concrete-pictorial-abstract approach, Numicon uses structured imagery and apparatus to help children explore and understand mathematical concepts. This kit provides all you need to give your child’s early maths learning the right start, with carefully designed activities and games you will enjoy doing together. Ask your child to find the shape that matches the pattern that is left. For example, if the original shape had a value of 6 and you held your finger over a hole, your child would need to find a shape with a value of 5. Especially created for use at home, Homework Activities Intervention Resource kit supports children’s mathematical development and learning outside of school.

Numicon Shapes are a series of flat shapes which have holes in, each representing a number between 1 and 10. Have fun with your child by playing the games in this kit together and help them to thrive at the maths they’re learning in school. Designed to work both brilliantly on its own and as a natural progression from the First Steps Kit, the activities and apparatus here will build your child’s understanding of numbers to 100 and their ability to use and talk about them with confidence In the Numicon at Home kits for parents section below there are links to products that you can buy, designed to work with the kits. 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

Give AI a Try!

Encourage your child to explain what is happening using mathematical language – the difference between, smaller than, leaves, equals , and so on . Thanks for getting in touch and letting us know how much you liked this resource. You might also want to take a look at this: This is a good activity to gently introduce the idea of adding two numbers together to make a bigger number. Have a go at making number towers like this: 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).
