Numicon builds a deep understanding of maths through a multi-sensory approach, developing children's fluency, reasoning and problem-solving. This laminated number line, scaled to take Numicon Shapes, shows Numicon 10-shapes laid horizontally end-to-end with points marked, but not labelled. The points can be labelled with multiples, fractions, decimals, percentages or negative numbers, using a whiteboard pen, to support children with exploring number relationships and calculating.

`Numicon has become part of what I do when teaching maths. It has become an integral part of maths lessons because it works! However did we teach maths before Numicon?' Maths Coordinator, Chandlings Manor School, Oxfordshire
