Numicon is a proven maths approach for ALL students. The visual & kinaesthetic approach is very appealing to all students including intermediate and secondary. It is a practical base to develop conceptual understanding - learning through play. Problem-solving using real-life contexts that give every activity a purpose. This course will be presented by Margi Leech Dip Teach, accredited by Oxford University Press with 30 years teaching in NZ and abroad. It is an introduction to Numicon for new teachers, or for teachers wanting a refresher to the Numicon approach. We will explore activities from Numicon 1 - 6. We will look closely at the printed resources as well as the apparatus demonstrating the value of a hands-on approach that uses conversation, problem-solving in a sequential, consistent approach across the strands and school. We will cover planning and assessment. This fee includes morning tea and a takeaway Maths resource that you can use in your classroom. Please bring your own lunch. Venue is Hukerenui School, 9 Crows Nest Road, Hukerenui, Northland 0182 ph09 433 9895

This year the Maths Day fall on the international Pi Day. The theme is 'To Infinity and Beyond' with a great presentation speaker and 30 workshops. Aimed at Primary and Intermediate teachers. Margi is presenting on Maths Anxiety. Book through the link above, not at our website.

Tai Tokerau Cluster 2 is partly sponsoring this event. This one day training will look at the reasons why adults and children struggle with maths, both internal and external factors, with a focus on the impact of specific learning difficulties such as dyscalculia. Practical solutions will be explored to help children to overcome their barriers to learning including the effective use of concrete manipulatives, how to cope with maths anxiety and how to develop conceptual understanding through reasoning and development of mathematical language. The impact of dyslexia on Maths will also be covered. The sessions will be very hands on. You will be able to take away resources, activities and ideas to implement in your classrooms.
