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. Whether learning occurs at home or in the classroom, maths does not have to be boring with our collection of Numicon resources.

You’ll find helpful tips on how to extend many of these activities on our Numicon activities: partner videos playlist. From EYFS right through to KS1 and beyond, this multi-sensory resource is the perfect tool for developing children's early maths skills, and counting abilities and introducing them to a new way of learning.Spend time with your pre-schooler or 4-year-old playing the games in this kit together, to give their maths learning the right start. Our numicon resources are great for teaching about place value, and practising addition, subtraction and multiplication. Numicon at Home is available to help you support your child with the maths they learn in school, succeed and enjoy it.
Our range of numicon supplies can be used in a wonderfully creative way to make learning more engaging, fun, practical and interactive. In the kit there’s an easy-to-use activity book, with full guidance and step-by-step illustrations to show you what to do.
Hi, I really wanted to use this resource to represent making doubles, but I was unable to copy individual parts of the download and paste them into my smart presentation. My only criticism would be there's quite a lot of white space when printing, if only half the page is used i. You can build on this by taking away larger numbers (for example, holding your finger over two holes) when your child is confident with the process of taking away 1. Encourage your child to explain what is happening using mathematical language – the difference between, smaller than, leaves, equals , and so on .
Simply print off the Counting Numicon Shapes worksheets and cut out the Shapes for children to investigate.
On top of these quite formal activities, you can also teach your child about adding and taking away through conversation, books, play, and songs. See if your child can find different combinations of pieces to make the same shape stacking them on top of the previous combinations.
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. My first activity to introduce subtraction involved using a ‘feely bag’ (an big bag that you can’t see through). This kit provides all you need to support and develop your child’s maths learning, through carefully designed activities and games you will enjoy doing together. 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. Model the language you want your child to use during this activity, such as more, less, add, fit, and same.Numicon Shapes are a series of flat shapes which have holes in, each representing a number between 1 and 10. All the activities in the kit are meant to be done many times and the ability of Numicon to enhance learning is limitless! Giving your child a chance to practise addition and subtraction using Numicon, as well as incorporating maths into their daily routine through books and songs, will give their early maths skills a real boost.
