Teach Your Monster Number Skills is a game developed with three world-renowned early years mathematics experts (Bernie Westacott, Dr Helen J. Williams, and Dr Sue Gifford) to help children practice the skills needed to develop their number sense.
The game covers the early years national curriculum in the UK, and early years requirements for mathematics across the world. It currently includes numbers from 0 to 5, 10 to 20 and numbers up to 100.
The game consists of mini games that the children can play as they explore. Each game currently has over 150 levels. The next level for each mini game is only unlocked when the player has achieved a high enough score on the current level.
All of the games use various teaching objects known as manipulatives designed to
to help children better grasp mathematical concepts by visually representing numbers in lots of different ways. Manipulatives such as 5 frames, dice, and fingers have been deliberately chosen as they are likely to be familiar to children from the classroom.
The mini games are all broadly focused on three of the key skills of number sense — counting, subitising, and number bonds — but also include a number of other important number concepts, as outlined on our Number Skills Mini games page.
