This game is designed as short independent practice after an idea has been introduced. It does not replace direct teaching, mathematical or scientific discussion, or an adult checking whether the learner can explain the idea away from the screen.

For parents and carers

Ask the learner to say each number word aloud and form it independently away from the multiple-choice screen after recognising it. Take a break when you need one.
