Supporting Mathematics in theNorthern Ireland Curriculum
Numicon 5 and 6 and Year P6 and P7
Numicon is a proven approach to teaching and learning designed to give children the understanding of mathematical ideas and relationships that is essential for successful reasoning and problem-solving. The use of apparatus builds children’s mental image of abstract concepts, and helps to develop their understanding of the connections between different areas of mathematics. The resources cover the key mathematical ideas for processes in mathematics: number, measures, shape, space and data that are essential foundations for further mathematical thinking.
We have correlated focus activities from Number, Pattern and Calculating 5 and 6 and Geometry, Measurement and Statistics 5 and 6 to the Mathematics and Numeracy section of the Key Stage 2 Northern Ireland Curriculum to supportP6 and P7 teachers in their planning. These correlations will be useful whether schools choose to follow the focus activities in the order outlined in the Teaching Resource Handbook, or prefer to dip in and out of the teaching materials for different topics.
Key:
In this correlation chart, 1.3 in the Numbers and the Number System column represents the Numbers and the Number System strand within Numicon, and refers to activity group 1, focus activity 3.
Reference to more than one consecutive focus activity is given as a range, e.g. 6.1–6.5, in the Pattern and Algebra column, includes all focus activity references from 6.1–6.5.
Matches to the ‘Investigating’ strands have been combined into one column. References to ‘NPC’ are toNumber, Pattern and Calculating 6 and ‘GMS’ to Geometry, Measurement and Statistics 6. For example, NPC 2.1 refers to NPC Investigating 2, Starting Point 1.
Note that statistics is covered in appropriate contexts within the Geometry and Measurement strands.

Become familiar with and use the language of probability
Understand possible outcomes of simple random events; understand that there is a degree of uncertainty about the outcome of some events, while others are certain or impossible
Place events in order of ‘likelihood’; understand and use the idea of ‘evens’ and know whether events are more or less likely
