  • The units of work or "topics" form the structured course. They are broken down into very small steps, isolating one new level of activity at a time. Learned facts are linked to new ones.
  • Numbershark generates a new set of "sums" for each topic as it is selected. The games for each of  topic may be reinforced with a wide range of customisable worksheets.
  • The 500+ topics offer a finely graded structured course with clear examples given on screen to help you select appropriate work.

Games

  • Numbers are represented in many forms in the games e.g: rods, numberline, scale, digits, words, abacus, 100 square and numberpad.
  • Different games address different aspects of: ordering, grouping, conservation, place value, exchange, symbol discrimination, problem solving, commutativity, links between operations and maths vocabulary.
  • Games both promote understanding and also provide rote practice in number bonds and multiplication tables, and give visual support for maths concepts.
  • Mental maths strategies are well addressed at all levels.
  • "Overlearning" is achieved through the variety of approach in the games.
  • Variable levels and speeds for games allows easy differentiation to  support a wide range of  skills and ability. Personal learning is supported with individual programs of work.
  • Scores and timings are shown on screen but most games do not impose time limits. Detailed work records can be viewed or printed off.
  • Context friendly help screens with speech support  are available throughout.
