Getting to know Numicon

We also This week as the children settle into school life we are using Numicon in many fun, interactive and interesting ways to let them show what they remember and know.
Today the children had the challenge of ordering the foam shapes as quickly and quietly as they could with no teacher help - but everyone had to contribute and work together as a team.
The children also had a variety of tasks they could choose between to engage with the Numicon shapes and equipment.
