Exploring Numicon in the Classroom - Numicon Presentation 1-3
This is a 3 part online course and will be held on September 12th, 26th & 3rd October from 7:00pm - 8:00pm.
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.
Note* - Resources to be shared in the last session by the tutor.
Session 1 - 12th September
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.
