FIRST STEPS WITH NUMICON

Numicon Programme is already in our classrooms of Infants Education and our kids have enjoyed playing with the Numicon shapes, baseboards, and coloured pegs. During the first sessions, we just let them play with the material without explaining them what those materials were for. After observing the students playing with Numicon, we notice how amazing the results have been since every group responded differently, for example, some four years-old students used the coloured pegs as thimbles and played with them as if they were castanets; whereas most of five years-old students tried to build up castles with the Numicon shapes. We have also observed some students using the shapes to make patterns and sorting them depending on their size or colour.

The most important aspect of these first sessions is that definitely students love working with Numicon. Now they often ask the teachers…“when are we going to play with Numicon?” A big part of embedding the Numicon Approach is creating that enjoyable environment in these sessions.
