Great for children who are learning numbers, used a lot in schools so something they are familiar with. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for kids *by D***A on 16 March 2026* Great learning tool for kids of all learning ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I wouldn't want to teach maths without it! *by H***D on 16 May 2012* I use numicon to teach Key Stage 2 children both in their class work and as a private tutor working with children who have some difficulties with maths. It is an excellent way of showing children such a lot of maths concepts and is brilliant for getting them to understand lots of number work. Lots of children who have problems with maths are more visual learners (and don't tend to learn so well by listening) so numicon is perfect for them. As it is bright and colourful, children like it and they enjoy using the coloured shapes. It can be used with younger children but is also suitable for teaching maths right up to Year 6 as long as you have an imagination to think of how to use it. If you are very visual yourself, this will come to you naturally although I do come across many teachers who just don't seem to 'get it' without training. Everyone learns differently so if you are not particularly visual, you may need to look at the website quite a bit to get some ideas. I would recommend buying the box of 80 shapes plus a set of extra tens as these will be needed for bigger numbers. Since I came across numicon about 6 years ago, I have been a massive fan and can't recommend it highly enough. I just wish I'd thought of it myself!!! ## Frequently Bought Together - Numicon: Box of 80 Numicon Shapes - Numicon: 100 Square Baseboard - Numicon: 80 Coloured Pegs --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ec/products/48171194-numicon-box-of-80-numicon-shapes](https://www.desertcart.ec/products/48171194-numicon-box-of-80-numicon-shapes) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ecuador* *Store origin: EC* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
