Numbers are represented in many forms in the games e.g: rods, numberline, scale, digits, words, abacus, 100 square and numberpad.
Different games address different aspects of: ordering, grouping, conservation, place value, exchange, symbol discrimination, problem solving, commutativity, links between operations and maths vocabulary.
Games both promote understanding and also provide rote practice in number bonds and multiplication tables, and give visual support for maths concepts.
Mental maths strategies are well addressed at all levels.
"Overlearning" is achieved through the variety of approach in the games.
Variable levels and speeds for games allows easy differentiation to support a wide range of skills and ability. Personal learning is supported with individual programs of work.
Scores and timings are shown on screen but most games do not impose time limits. Detailed work records can be viewed or printed off.
Context friendly help screens with speech support are available throughout.
