What it practises
- Maths calculation: Arithmetic, fractions, ratios, powers and number bases at a steady pace.
Games are good for calculation speed and accuracy. Mathematical concepts still need teaching and explanation.
Quick lesson: Number bonds
A number bond is a pair (or group) of numbers that make a total, like 3 + 7 = 10. Knowing the bonds to 10 lets you split bigger sums into easy steps.
Check question
The target is 15 and you have picked 9. Which tile finishes it exactly?
- 5
- 6
- 7
- 9
Answer: 6. 15 − 9 = 6, so the missing tile is 6.
More games like this
- Multiply Matrix: Multiplication with the area model. Small facts show a grid of cells; bigger ones split into tens and ones so the rectangle breaks into easy parts.
- Number Line Runner: Tap when the runner reaches the target number. Only a few marks are labelled: whole numbers first, then negatives, decimals and fractions.
- Graph Hunter: Plot coordinates to hit drones. One quarter of the grid, then all four, then points on a straight line.
- Fraction Forge: Add fraction shards to fill the core exactly to the target line. The core is marked in a common denominator, so you can see which fractions are equal.
- Ratio Reactor: Mix coolant in the right ratio. Scale a recipe up, find an equivalent ratio, or share a total between two tanks.
- Percent Patch: Patch the shield to the right value: percentages of an amount, then increases and decreases, then “what percent is it?”.
