Numicon is a proven approach for teaching and learning maths that builds deep understanding and engagement. Through active investigation with problem-solving at its heart and supported by structured apparatus, children reason and communicate mathematically with confidence. Breaking Barriers is specifically designed for teaching children who experience particular difficulties learning maths, including those with special educational needs and disabilities. The Numicon Breaking Barriers Teaching Pack comprises a Teaching Handbook and an Assessment and Photocopy Masters book. The Teaching Handbook provides a coherent teaching progression with support for planning and assessment, a Teaching Guide containing expert advice on making number ideas accessible and addressing childrens underlying difficulties, easy-to-follow activities with guidance on the smaller steps some children may need to take, suggestions for extension, helpful illustrations that demonstrate how apparatus can be used to support childrens reasoning, ideas for putting the activities into context, and links to the Numicon Number, Pattern and Calculating and Geometry, Measurement and Statistics materials.The Assessment and Photocopy Masters book contains Assessment Signposts for ensuring that teaching starts at an appropriate point, an Individual Record of Progress providing detailed tracking for each child, a Child Profile for building a picture of strengths and difficulties so that specific needs can be addressed, and Photocopy masters to support the activities in the Teaching Handbook.

Numicon builds a deep understanding of maths through a multi-sensory approach, developing children's fluency, reasoning and problem-solving. Numicon Pupil Books are designed for children to use independently after whole class teaching and learning has taken place. The Pupil Books are divided into two sections: Practice and Going Deeper. The Practice sections provide independent practice to improve understanding and fluency while the Going Deeper sections provide open questions to challenge pupils and deepen their conceptual understanding and develop mastery. The four-page sections for each of the Activity Groups follow the order of the long term plans in the Teaching Resource Handbooks and reflect the content in the Focus activities, enabling progress to be matched against the Milestones. There is one Pupil Book for each year group. An answer book is provided in the pack of 15 and is also available on Numicon Online (on the Oxford Owl website). The Numicon Pupil Books have been tried and tested in the classroom.
