Company History
Numicon grew out of a classroom based research project funded by the Teacher Training Agency carried out between 1996 and 1998 by Numicon authors Ruth Atkinson, Romey Tacon and Dr Tony Wing. They sought to discover why it was that so many children failed in arithmetic where they were successful in all other curriculum areas. They wanted to find out whether using visual structured imagery would support children’s arithmetic understanding. Through the research a programme of teaching activities was devised using Numicon imagery in a multi-sensory way that would be easily followed by teachers. This programme has formed the basis of the Numicon teaching programme. For further information please go to Research and Press Articles.
