Hi Margi,
We (Tori & I) attended your course on Friday in Christchurch.
It was fab. You knew your stuff, could speak directly from your own personal experience, evidence and research and also your heart about Numicon.
We have invested in sets of Numicon for our Yrs 1-3 classes and we are now thinking about the books and online resources to support teachers and pupils further, in the classroom.
Thank you for an inspiring day. You have a wonderful approach which is honest and believable.
Ka kite ano,
