Schools using Numicon are raving about how easy it is to teach Maths concepts in a 'play/explore', problem-solving and rich approach!
We will explore activities from Numicon 1–6. We will look closely at the printed resources as well as the apparatus demonstrating the value of a hands-on approach that uses conversation, problem-solving in a sequential, consistent approach across the school. Children with high learning needs and older children who are struggling benefit hugely from this approach.
This course is suitable for all teachers in Y1–9, RTLB's, TA's and tutors and for those who work with students who struggle with maths. Morning Tea is provided - please bring your own lunch.
You will receive a complimentary Take Home Maths Resource that you can use with your students.
Course will be held at Ao Tawhiti Unlimited School – 9am till 3pm.
