Using numicon to support visualisation of perimeter in rectilinear shapes...genius!
25 Apr 2024
This is often an area of maths that children can find confusing.
So we try and tackle that by using:
• Numicon Tiles
• 2 coloured pens
This is one way that we scaffold learning!

The best maths working walls scaffold current learning through prompts. It was a pleasure to visit colleagues at @OakthorpeSchool and @BlackfordbySch last week to explore good practice in mixed-year maths.

Main benefits of using White Rose #maths:
- pictorial representations & variation build conceptual understanding
- flashback 4 increases retention
Main pitfalls:
- Too many representations in a single lesson.
- Doesn't embed arithmetic skills without additional lessons

We love the creative use of space in @OakthorpeSchool Early Years. Plenty of opportunities to explore number using a range of representations.
