What it does
Game-based addition and subtraction practice with visual representations of number.
NumBots focuses on early number work through addition and subtraction. Its story-based practice uses visual representations, including a rekenrek, to connect an answer with a quantity or relationship. The useful companion activity is to recreate a problem with counters or a drawing and ask how the child saw the answer. That makes the visual part of the game a starting point for explanation.
Most children are advised to start between five and seven, with objectives reflecting UK Years 1 to 3. Check for an existing school login first. Families can buy twelve-month access and use the parent area to follow each child’s progress.
