Courses and Workshops

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
