Doh, Ray, Me …
• Sing along with the Doh, Ray, Me sequence…• Start at ‘Soh’ and continue the count.• Now start at ‘Me’.• Now… start at ‘Te’ and go backwards.• How many steps are there from ‘Ray’ to ‘La’?• Count back from ‘Soh’ to ‘Doh’ – how much was that?
Now try again, but use the number line!

Key skills needed by Good Calculators
• Good knowledge of the number system• Know number bonds• Partition numbers into multiples of 1 10 100• Quick recall of times tables• Ability to multiply and divide by 10 and100• Use of inverse operation

Rationale behind Numicon
• Quality first learning• Progressive• Inclusive• Children can: Understand number relationships Do calculating without counting Learn mathematical language in context Make connections to use and apply their
understanding

Numicon imagery - motivated representation structured to reveal relationships between numbers and to help children to make connections
Schools Targeted Intervention and Improvement Team
People Directorate
Numicon imagery plays to children’s sense of pattern … and draws their attention
… seeing a pattern is at the heart of mathematical thinking….… recognising and creating patterns is often difficult for children who have SEN …

Feel inside the bag can you find the pink shape
Find number 3
Find the number which you add to 6 to make 10

Initial Brain Storm of Teaching Ideas
• Using feely bag to find various numicon shapes• Hide numicon in sand /water• Press shapes into playdough/clay• Use as templates to make numicon cookies• Use base boards to create a pattern photograph and ask other
children to copy• Paint and print repeated patterns• Represent numicon patterns using different media i.e beans • Make numicon the currency in the shop area.• Use balance and measure out equal bonds
Schools Targeted Intervention and Improvement Team
People DirectorateMy initial brain storm of teaching ideas
• Order numicon on a numberline• Complete the different numicon numberline • Make the story of 6 using numicon shapes• Adding numbers bridging through ten• Place value partitioning 2 digit number• Doubling numbers• Adding 2 digit numbers• Putting sets of a particular numicon shape to see how
many make e.g.12• Making numicon towers to represent multiplication

People DirectorateIn Conclusion
• Understanding of numbers and the number system takes place when the learner makes cognitive connections between concrete apparatus, images, symbols and mathematical language
• Structured imagery can support children to make
sense of numbers
• Structured imagery can support children in developing calculation skills and can support children in learning to calculate without relying on counting
