THE MATH GOES IN, THE FUN COMES OUT

Created by parents, teachers and language experts, The Math Machine turns maths into fun, by presenting the basics - from number sequences to times tables - as immersive games. Designed for use in the classroom and at home, The Math Machine reinforces everything your child is learning at school.

While they’re playing, your kids are gradually mastering:

•Sequential counting up to 20, 40, 100 and 1,000
•Instant recall of times tables
•The relationship between doubles and halves and how to estimate answers

MULTIPLE LEVELS

1 – We are learning to know our numbers from 1-20. Every time a kid touches a moving number, they hear the number read out to them.

2 – We are learning to know the order of numbers from 1-40.

3 – We are learning to know our numbers backwards from 40 down to 1.

4 – We are learning to order our numbers from 1-100 asks kids to place a random selection of 40 numbers in order between 1 and 100. Expands understanding of how to count over the tens e.g. 28, 29, 30, 31

5 – We are learning to order our numbers before and after 100 tests kids’ understanding of what happens when they reach 100.

6 – We are learning to order our numbers up to 1,000 lets kids play with bigger numbers. Watch them grow in confidence as they grasp the place value of three-digit numbers.

7 – We are learning to quickly recall our two, five and ten times tables. This is the first cluster of times tables kids learn in the classroom. Watch them work their times table forwards backwards and mutter the factors as they puzzle through this level.

8 - We are learning to quickly recall our three, four and six times tables.

9 - We are learning to quickly recall our seven, eight and nine times tables. A true test for the times table champions in the class. Lick this level and times tables are yours to keep.

10 – We are learning to recognize the double of numbers up to 20. This level gets kids thinking in doubles and halves.

11 – We are learning to recognize the double of numbers up to 80. This is a good opportunity to introduce the art of estimation.

12 – We are learning to recognize the double of odd numbers.

13 – We are learning to recognize the double of prime numbers. This level will delight kids who are ready for a new challenge.

14 – We are learning to recognize four different representations of the same number including fraction, equivalent fraction, decimal and percentage. This level is for the maths whizz.
