Play now →Why use games to learn numbers?
Interactive games allow children to practise counting, number recognition and the number–quantity relationship in a natural way. While they play, they develop early maths skills without feeling like they are taking a test.
These games can be used both at school and at home. Teachers and families can support learning by asking questions such as “how many do you see?”, “how many are missing?” or “what happens if we add one more?”.
Frequently asked questions about learning numbers
From what age can children use these number games?
In general, counting and number recognition games can be used from around 4 or 5 years old, as long as there is an adult supporting and adapting the language. In primary school they are also useful as extra practice for children who need more reinforcement.
Do these games only teach numbers from 1 to 10?
Most activities in this section focus on numbers from 1 to 10 because they are the foundation of the number system. Once children deeply understand these quantities, it is much easier to move on to bigger numbers, addition, subtraction and other challenges.
Can I use these games in class or homework?
Yes. MultiIdeasWeb is designed to support teachers and families. You can project the games in class, use them as stations, assign them as homework or as extra practice activities.
