You asked, we listened - Number Skills now goes all the way to 10!
Teach Your Monster Number Skills is now bigger and bolder, with double the number fun. For children who have mastered the first five numbers, there is now the chance to select new difficulty levels, practising number skills from 0 all the way to 10.
From the Usborne Foundation and the team behind the award-winning Teach Your Monster to Read comes Teach Your Monster Number Skills, a new maths learning game all about boosting kids' confidence with numbers and making maths fun.
Teach Your Monster Number Skills is a kids learning game developed with three world-renowned early years mathematics experts - Bernie Westacott, Dr Helen J. Williams, and Dr Sue Gifford - to help children practise the skills needed to develop their number sense.
Aligned with the early years national curriculum in the UK, Teach Your Monster Number Skills reinforces critical number skills, from splitting numbers in useful ways using number bonds to 10, to the fundamentals of recognising adding, subtracting and counting and recognising number quantities. The more kids play with these core concepts, the better their number sense becomes - giving them a solid foundation for maths success in school and later life.
The game covers early year requirements for mathematics across the world. Focusing on numbers up to 10, the game consists of 8 mini maths games which children can play as they explore. Each game currently has 5 levels, making a total of 40 levels of fun.
Meet Queenie Bee and her friends as you explore the park, customise your monster and collect prizes for your Prize Palace. From dodgems to bouncy castles, fun-filled games offer exciting, new ways to practise number skills again and again. Hang on tight, the learning fun through play never stops in the Number Park!
