Why teach commutativity using number rods ? ✅Deeper understanding of how multiplication works. ✅ ‘sticky’ learning. CPA ✅ Proof of commutativity #Numicon #OUPPrimary

Last week Y6 enjoyed using Numicon to help them understand and calculate ratio. The visual representation created a lot of lightbulb moments. 5:6 “For every 5 yellow counters there are 6 red ones” “The whole is 11 as both parts of the ratio add up to 11” Maths at Bartons Primary School #numicon

Year 4 using a number line with positive and negative numbers. Aim of the game is the first to get to -20 or +20. Good opportunities to discuss the magnitude of numbers. 👏🏼

Some great concrete exploration of multiplying decimals in Year 6 today. 3 representations, all used by the children to explain how they multiply decimals. Numicon Maths at Bartons Primary School #maths #cpa #numicon

Today is our advocate schools conference, so great to have so many schools here with us today Oxford University Press! Oxford Primary thanks to @HallOrchard Bridgelea Primary School Prospect Vale Primary School Maths at Bartons Primary School for sharing their #numicon love with the room!

‘Find the difference between 2 numbers’ We explored the structure of subtraction using number rods and track. As we became more confident we showed the difference using number lines and bar models. 👏🤩#OUPPrimary #Numicon #CPA #vocabulary

Active Maths Day. Year 4 Learning that arrays can be split into different parts to make it easier to calculate. Next stop - short written method of multiplying. #teachactive #Numicon #OUPPrimary #CPA

Revision of multiplying fractions by integers in Year 6 today. Using Numicon helps the children visualise the concept so that they can better understand how/why the abstract works. Maths at Bartons Primary School #maths #ks2 #year6 #numicon

Equivalence in Yr 4. Fill a 20 shape with four different colours in equal amounts. 5/20 is equal to 1/4 . Tip -check by putting 1 peg for every 5 shape.👍 #OUPPrimary #Numicon

Looking forward to being a part of this.

This week is…

This years theme for Maths week is ‘Maths in everyday life’. Year 4 have been investigating tessellation they see around them. The challenge was to make their own shape that tessellated. #OUPPrimary

Maths week 2023. Exploring symmetry with Numicon and base boards. Opportunities for in-depth learning and mathematical talk.

Maths week 2023. We made a firework spiral using number rods. In our talk trios we discussed the table facts we could see. #OUPPrimary

Fantastic day at Maths at Bartons Primary School. Loved seeing both Numicon and Number Sense Maths in action. Blown away by the power of manipulatives plus oracy in making children into engaged and confident mathematicians. Louise Pennington FCCT (She/Her) Oxford Primary Will Power Lydia Davison Kate Powell

Year 4 are working on becoming fluent with short written multiplication. Using manipulatives builds a deeper understanding of the concept, this leads to and supports fluency. Well done Year 4 . Division next 👏👏

Thanks Oxford Primary marketing team for this striking school mailing. Loving the new #NumiconEssentials logo capturing the lightbulb moments purposeful use of manipulatives & excellent teaching bring! if you want to know more about our #NumiconPD click here global.oup.com/education/cont…

Year 4 tackled short division this week. Lots of time spent exploring what ‘sharing’ and ‘grouping’ means. Tricky concepts to understand and use. Year 4 persevered, collaborated and used manipulatives to explain their thinking. 👏👏#OUPPrimary #Numicon

Fantastic day of PD yesterday with Jayne Jarvis & @hannahvoice21 for Boolean Maths Hub exploring Oxford Primary's Talk for Maths Benchmarks in collaboration with Kathleen McBride Voice 21 Oracy #Oracy #Maths Lydia Davison Kate Paradine Lauren Maths at Bartons Primary School Nazia
