Numicon builds a deep understanding of maths through a multi-sensory approach, developing children's fluency, reasoning and problem-solving. The Numicon Geometry, Measurement and Statistics 6 Explorer Progress Book supports the activities in the Numicon Geometry, Measurement and Statistics 6 Teaching Resource Handbook and is a great assessment tool, allowing you to gather evidence of children's achievements. The book contains fun andengaging activities for children to complete. Each activity links to a topic from the Teaching Resource Handbook, offering you opportunities to assess individual children's understanding and monitor progress. Children have the freedom to record their answers in their own way, allowing you to see their thinking. The use of real-lifecontexts allows you to assess children's ability to apply their mathematics learning when faced with 'non-routine' problems.
Numicon has become part of what I do when teaching maths. It has become an integral part of maths lessons because it works! However did we teach maths before Numicon?
