Numicon Number Exploration
Help Kiri pack number tiles for a maths treasure hunt. Use the number on each Numicon tile to work out how many holes it has. You can draw tiles or use number sentences to show your thinking.
Spot the number
Use the tile numbers given in the questions. Each tile's number matches its number of holes.
1.Kiri is choosing one tile for the biggest number. Which tile has the most holes: 5, 8, 10 or 3?
- 5
- 8
- 10
- 3
2.A 4 tile and a 3 tile sit side by side. How many holes do they have altogether? Write a number sentence.
3.Which pair of tiles makes 10 holes altogether?
- 6 and 4
- 5 and 4
- 7 and 4
- 8 and 3
Draw two Numicon tiles that make 10 altogether. Label each tile with its number.
Find the pattern
Kiri is lining tiles up to make number patterns.
4.Complete the pattern. The numbers go up by 2 each time: 2, 4, 6, __, __, 12.
5.The tile pattern is 5, 10, 15. What number is added each time?
6.Make your own number pattern of five numbers that goes up by the same amount each time. Write the amount you add.
Solve the tile puzzles
Use tiles, drawings or number sentences to explain your ideas.
7.Kiri has 8 stickers and gives 3 to a friend. How many stickers does Kiri have left? Write a number sentence.
8.Choose three different tiles that make 15. Write the addition sentence.
9.Which number sentence shows what happens when you put a 7 tile and a 2 tile together?
- 7 - 2 = 5
- 7 + 2 = 9
- 2 + 5 = 7
- 9 - 7 = 2
