Numicon training at Operation Upgrade

Two days of Numicon mathematics training with Operation Upgrade teachers in Plettenberg bay resulted in positive comments such as:-
"Can't wait to implement it" "The training was wonderful ... I would like to have more training" "Gives me ideas how to do maths with children" "Am looking forward to working with Numicon" "If maths was taught this way everybody will like it... an easy way to teach children to understand" "I really enjoyed it, had lots of fun and got nice, new ideas" "I'm proud to be part of the Numicon programme... I will implement everything... you really make me see my job a practitioner in another way" "With Numicon children will enjoy learning maths. They will have a lot of fun, because it is not as tough as the word Numicon sounds" "Numicon rocks!"
KET edu-mentor and Numicon specialist Gail Rossini and edu-assistant Xoliswa Mabukane are thrilled with this great feedback, clearly indicating that the extension of this maths programme is bound to be a great success!
