The use of Numicon® as a resource for learning addition and subtraction in early childhood education (Bachelor's thesis, University of Malta). Numicon can also be used to review old concepts. Students can use this tool to practice basic math skills, such as adding and subtracting fractions and decimals. They can also use Numicon as a memory aid. For example, they could use Numicon to practice multiplying and dividing fractions. Having each number written down and represented as a tangible shape helps children to build a stronger understanding of the relationship between written numbers and the quantity the number represents.
