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.

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!
