Numicon Shapes - Box of 80
Product code: HC1489774
Product Description
Support effective maths teaching with the Numicon Shapes - Box of 80, a versatile and engaging resource designed to help children and pupils visualise numbers and mathematical relationships. Each durable plastic shape is colour-coded and features a distinctive arrangement of holes, clearly representing numbers from 1 to 10. The set’s clever design allows for hands-on exploration—children can physically compare, combine, and sequence the shapes to understand number concepts, develop number bonds, and grasp place value.
This comprehensive classroom set is ideal for facilitating small group activities, interventions, or targeted support sessions. Numicon Shapes encourage active learning, allowing pupils to manipulate, count, measure, and solve problems through practical interactions. The tactile approach aids in building mathematical confidence and mastery, and is particularly useful for supporting progression within the Maths Mastery framework across the primary curriculum. The plastic shapes are easy to clean, ensuring they are always ready for the next class or group session.
- Includes 80 Numicon Shapes (10 each of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10 shapes; 5 each of 6, 7, 8, and 9 shapes)
- Ideal for introducing and revisiting key mathematical concepts such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, measurement, and number patterns
- Perfect for early years settings, primary classrooms, intervention groups, and SEND support
- Encourages reasoning, problem-solving, and collaborative learning in a fun, accessible way
- Suitable for children aged 5 years and above
- Engaging Multi-Sensory Learning: Numicon Shapes transform abstract number concepts into a tangible, visual, and tactile experience, making mathematics accessible and enjoyable for all children.
- Supports Mastery and Differentiation: Ideal for teaching key mathematical concepts including times tables, division facts, number bonds, and more—perfect for whole-class, small group, or intervention settings.
- Inclusive Design: Colour-coded and weighted for intuitive understanding, Numicon Shapes are especially effective for children with SEND and those benefiting from multi-sensory or concrete learning approaches.
- Easy Classroom Management: Durable, easy-to-clean plastic shapes ensure longevity and hygienic sharing between groups—maximising resource investment and classroom efficiency.
- Proven Pedagogical Value: Trusted by educators worldwide, Numicon Shapes support the concrete-pictorial-abstract (CPA) progression recommended by UK curriculum frameworks.
- Develop a concrete understanding of number structure and place value up to 10.
- Master key calculation strategies: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, using tactile resources.
- Identify and represent number bonds, doubles, halves, and fractions visually and kinaesthetically.
- Enhance problem-solving and reasoning skills through hands-on, practical activities.
- Build mathematical vocabulary and communication as children describe patterns, relationships, and solutions.
- Support progression towards secure mental maths, fluency, and confidence with number concepts.
- Introduce Numicon Shapes during whole-class or small group sessions to reinforce new mathematical concepts and support varied learning styles.
- Pair shapes with number lines or ten frames for powerful visual demonstration of addition, subtraction, and number bonds.
- Integrate Numicon into intervention groups—ideal for closing attainment gaps or supporting children with additional needs.
- Encourage children to physically manipulate and combine shapes to observe relationships and form equations—perfect for group challenges and exploring patterns.
- After use, clean the shapes with a mild, school-safe disinfectant to maintain hygiene and extend the lifespan of your resources.
- Supplement your teaching with Numicon activity guides or digital resources for ready-made lesson inspiration and progressive challenge.
