Book of the Month: Numicon at Home

Numicon at home Kits

Age 3+

Numicon at Home Kits have been designed to help you get your child’s early maths learning off to the best possible start. Through a series of fun and easy-to-play activities, the First Steps Kit will prepare them for starting school, while the Next Steps Kit supports the maths they’ll be taught in the classroom. The kits include Numicon apparatus and activity books that will give you the confidence to easily help your child with maths.

Watch their understanding of numbers grow as you follow the step-by-step, hands-on activities, which include clear explanations of important maths concepts for you. You’ll also find helpful ‘Words to use’ pointers to guide you on the maths vocabulary that your child needs to use and understand, as you explore and talk about maths together.

About Numicon

Numicon is an approach to teaching maths that helps your child to see connections between numbers. It supports them as they learn early maths skills in nursery and primary school, enabling them to visualise numbers and understand number relationships. It is a multi-sensory way of learning, which means your child learns by seeing and feeling.
