NumBots

NumBots

The aim of NumBots is to ensure children develop a core understanding of maths from an early age, establishing a strong mathematical foundation which they can build upon as they progress through their education. With the focus on addition and subtraction, NumBots is well aligned with Prince Rock’s maths curriculum, which emphasise the importance of learning addition and subtraction particularly in Year 1 to Year 4. Furthermore, extending this to the national curriculum, an aim of NumBots is to help children reach a level of fluency in their mathematical problem solving skills – something that is heavily endorsed by the aims of the Key Stage 1 programme. NumBots provides children with access to regular practise both at home and in the classroom. With approximately 1300 levels in ‘Story Mode’, the game also has longevity; on average children take approximately 2 years to complete the game. By the time a child has completed the game, they should have transitioned from using their fingers to count, to fluently adding and subtracting two-digit numbers in their head. This will provide them with the confident and can-do attitude required for excelling at maths.
