Numicon Maths

Numicon aims to help children’s understanding and enjoyment of maths. Numicon appreciates the complexity of early number ideas and seeks to foster confidence in children that they can solve mathematical challenges. Numicon uses a combination of action, imagery and conversation to help children understand and achieve in maths.
