Numicon: Bag of Numicon Shapes 1-10

Product Information

Not only is this a great way to practice counting, but seeing the Numicon Shapes gradually increase in size is brilliant for developing children's sense of numbers being "one more" or "one less" than each other. Not only does each cut-out come with a clear and simple number shape, there are also some lovely eye-catching illustrations too! You can use the Numicon shapes to create patterns to show children and see if they can identify whether it is symmetrical or asymmetrical. Inside the kit you’ll find an activity book with pictures and step-by-step guidance to show you what to do.

Like all resources, these Numicon Shapes to print have been designed to empower you to deliver an engaging teaching experience while cutting down on preparation time. Each of these Numicon posters have been carefully made by Twinkl in collaboration with Oxford University Press. This difficulty can often lead children to become a little nervous about numbers, but Numicon Shapes can be the perfect maths apparatus to help children overcome this stumbling block.Each Numicon shape provides children with a visual image of what a written number looks like in a physical, tangible form.
