Numicon Maths Shapes - Free resources for activities and displays Maths Resource Maths ideas Creating a number-rich environment and giving number a high profile is important. Children notice and take in what is around them and in this sense much of young children's learning is opportunistic as they bring together what they notice to build their understanding. Children need to be immersed in a visually rich mathematical environment which supports their learning about number. If you are thinking of making a Numicon wall maths display please see the image above for an example of how you could present it. For ideas of what resources you could put up please see the links below.

22/2/09 - "Hot on the heels of Sudoku comes Kakuro. Think of them as the mathematical equivalent of crosswords. Also known as Cross Sums or Kakro in Japan they have recently come to the UK featuring in The Guardian newspaper. A Kakuro consists of a playing area of filled and empty cells similar to a crossword puzzle. Some black cells contain a diagonal slash from top left to bottom right with numbers in them, called "the clues". A number in the top right corner relates to an "across" clue and one in the bottom left a "down" clue. The object of a Kakuro is to insert digits from 1-9 into the white cells to total the clue associated with it. However no digit can be duplicated in an entry. For example the total 6 you could have 1 & 5, 2 & 4 but not 3 & 3. Sound simple? Be warned it gets hard and is as addictive as Sudoku."

Make your own 1952 Fraction-of-an-inch Adding Machine Adding Machine in case Last weekend we took a trip to Urban Ore in Berkeley, where I found an incredible gem: this "Fraction of an Inch Adding Machine." It's a simple to use device that lets you add any number of fractions-- from 1/64 to 63/64-- quickly, automatically, correctly, and without thinking about it. As proudly proclaimed on the bezel itself, this calculator design is covered under patent Des. 169941, submitted in 1952, and granted a 14-year term in 1953. Forty years after the patent has expired, it's painfully obsolescent, and yet remarkably charming. The design is so simple and so obvious in how it works, and yet... there's something almost magical about it. But enough talk. Want to play with one? Using our pdf pattern and some office supplies, you can make a working replica in 5-10 minutes and try it out yourself!

23/04/2011 - "Combining thinking skills scaffolding, Philosophy for Children practices and MI theory, Ian took the eight intelligences (in no particular order): 1. Logical/Mathematical 2. Verbal/Linguistic 3. Interpersonal 4. Intrapersonal 5. Naturalistic 6. Body/Physical 7. Musical 8. Visual/Spatial And (over) simplified them into: 1. Numbers 2. Words 3. People 4. Feelings 5. Nature 6. Actions 7. Sounds 8. Sights Imagine putting these areas on each side of an octagon. Then you take what it is you want to explore, put it in the middle of the octagon and then simply work around each area asking questions to begin with. So, for example, if your topic was, say, 'beer' (I am typing this on a Friday night) you might come up with questions like: 1. How much beer is drunk in the UK each Friday night? 2. Where does the word 'beer' come from? 3. Who invented beer and why? 4. What sort of emotions do advertisers try and associate with beer in their marketing? 5. What are the natural ingredients of beer and where are they grown? 6. What are the various stages in the beer-making process? 7. What songs have been written about beer and its effects? 8. In TV and magazine advertising, how is beer portrayed?"
