Numicon is a multi-sensory way of learning, it helps your child to see connections between numbers by seeing and feeling.
The holes in the Numicon Shapes represent the numbers 1 to 10. When they are arranged in order, as in the picture below, children can easily see connections between numbers, such as ‘one more’ or ‘one less’.
In class, we were using our Numicon sets to look at numbers before (1 less than), and numbers after (1 more than). Later on, your child will be able to see more complex mathematical ideas, like how two fours make eight, three twos make six, add and subtract visually and so on.
