What NumBots has to offer

SUPPORT & TRAINING

So that children can solve more complex problems, NumBots’ intelligent practice methodology focuses on automatic recall of number facts as well as developing conceptual understanding.

By carefully layering up comprehension, our learners maintain confidence and are primed to learn the next concept.

LEARNING &
PRACTICE MODES

Pupils choose their own Bot before launching into ‘Story’ and ‘Challenge’ modes, where our algorithm takes care of their learning.

For most effective practice we suggest playing for at least 3 minutes a day, 4 or 5 times a week - at home or at school.

REWARDING
GAMEPLAY

As they progress, pupils collect achievement badges and unlock hundreds of new levels and challenges.

In the Story Mode they will also discover parts, helping RustyBot upgrade from Rust to Diamond - so he can shine inside and out.

EASY INTEGRATION WITH
TT ROCK STARS

During the registration process, our system will recognise if your school already uses TT Rock Stars, meaning that users can login with the same details.

Schools using TT Rock Stars will have their classes set up already.

ADDITIONAL
RESOURCES

Includes display packs, certificates, parent letters, training materials and lesson resources such as videos and powerpoints to support launching and ongoing impact.

DATA &
MONITORING

Tables and charts enable teachers to keep track of progress and usage at a class and individual level. Whilst printable leaderboards and auto-populated certificates allow you to recognise and celebrate pupils’ achievements in school.

Create characters and let imaginations run wild!

Check out the ‘Custom Shack’! This is where children can spend their in-game earnings to create their very own robot avatars.

With a huge selection of characters to choose between - from pirates to angels, dragonflies to ninjas - every child will be motivated to construct their dream robot. They can even mix up the parts to build their very own creations! Children can save their fabulous designs in their Scrapbook and even print them out. Imagine a camo-scuba-zookeeper bot… how cool would that look on the fridge?!

We regularly add new characters to the Custom Shack. This encourages children to continue playing to earn coins, so that they can upgrade to the latest characters!

Our Expertise (Mastery)

At the start of a two-year process, the team made a commitment that NumBots would develop a robust understanding of mathematical concepts, strengthened by automatic recall of the basics – a true “teaching for mastery” approach.

We pulled together best practice from the NCETM, White Rose Maths, teacher influencers, educators in Shanghai and Singapore and from leading academics. We got forensic about every fact from 1+1 to 100+100. We drew on our collective experience in the classroom and of building the UK’s most successful times tables platform.

From that, we distilled the three essential elements now at the core of NumBots: sound pedagogy, memory-building routines and great gamification.

The result is a world-class app for learning addition and subtraction.
