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.

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.
