Numicon

Where Little Minds

Make Big Moves!

What is Numicon?

Numicon program is designed for children ages 4-6. The program is a didactic-mathematical system that was developed at the world-renowned University of Oxford and was awarded the Education Resources Awards (ERA) in 2015 as the world’s best educational-mathematical method. The process of learning and understanding numbers takes place through guided, comprehensible and visual play. The program helps children to understand numbers and number systems, to develop mental images and to learn mathematical language.

Who is Numicon suitable for?

Our innovative approach uses play to engage both hemispheres of the brain, ensuring your child’s cognitive skills are sharpened while they have loads of fun.

The program is aimed at children ages 4 to 6 who want to get to know the world of numbers in a simple and entertaining way.

We work in small groups of 6 to 8 participants.

-Classes take place once a week for 90 minutes.

-We develop an individual approach for each child.

-We prepare children for work on abacus.

Early mathematical experience

Mathematics helps us orient ourselves in space and time and enables us to make technical progress. Models of time, space, light and all natural phenomena can only be created using mathematics.That is why mathematics should be introduced from early childhood. It is necessary to awaken and develop interest in mathematics at an early age and the best way to do this is through play! We offer a stimulating environment in which the child can develop and rediscover themselves. This is a first step towards developing their own potential.

Multi-layered approach to work: The VAK method

In our Numicon course, we develop an action strategy using the VAK method (visual-auditory-kinesthetic) through targeted play, which is unique in its effect. By consciously alternating different activities, the children learn with all their senses.

Visually

Observation of elements and recognition of elements through colors and shapes

Auditory

Listening to instructions – mathematical language and answering questions – describing connections

Kinesthetics

Motor movements and sense of form – touch and movement in space – search for a specific form

Learning with Numicon enables:

Establishing new and enhancing existing number recognition and counting proficiency
Understanding of number relationships
Improving proficiency in pattern recognition and sequencing
Improving spatial awareness and shape recognition
Enhancing basic addition and subtraction skills
Improving gross and fine motor skills
Improving social and emotional intelligence
Observable increase in confidence and enthusiasm for math related activities

Why is working with children using Numicon so successful?

Mathematical concepts are experienced in a playful way with Numicon. Visual, auditory and tactile elements pave the way for learning and understanding. With Numicon, numbers and quantities are learned in an entertaining way and basic arithmetic operations are discovered.
