Exploring Numicon for Teaching Maths
Edmond Scannell
April 24th(7pm)
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:
Acquire a comprehensive working knowledge of how the unique
materials that comprise Numicon can be used to explore and develop a broad
range of key mathematical concepts with their pupils;
Revise, refresh and utilise the key pedagogical
approaches to the teaching of mathematics;
Better devise, resource and deliver mathematics lessons
that are hands-on and full of potential & possibility for discussion and
conversation.
