'Wow, you have covered so much and given us so many awesome ideas. Thank you so much! I really enjoyed attending. I feel quite inspired now. :) :)

Absolutely going to be introducing Numicon into my classes. Thank you for the activities :)

Thank you for all the practical examples.

That was REALLY helpful!'

The Numicon course was fantastic. It was very inspiring and motivating. It was a course worth paying for!

  • Wednesday 21 May

  • Catherine and Anita will present this full-day course introducing Numicon Big Ideas Programme for Secondary, Intermediate and Primary Teachers, SENCOs, LSCs, RTLBs and Support Staff. Big Ideas is a 12 week programme that takes the key mathematical ideas from the second part of Phase 2 and presents them in ways that are visible and accessible to all learners. It is usually taught to small groups of 4 students. The programme uses research about how to best support learners who have missed out on key concepts, enabling them to rejoin the class upon completion. The day will include: practical work, some theory and a chance to try the lessons and ask questions. Morning tea will be supplied. Bring your own lunch. *please note - there is another course running in Rotorua the day before this one. It is aimed at Tier 3 students. Why not attend both? There are 2 course options. Follow the dropdown menu to make your selection.
