NumBots

We want to tell you about an exciting new maths game that you can use.

It’s called NumBots. You will all shortly receive your own login for the site. You get to design your own robot and as you answer questions correctly, you get coins and trophies and move up levels (a little bit like Angry Birds) and choose different body parts as you upgrade your robot.

NumBots App

There is a FREE app your parents can download from Apple Store and on Google Play Store so you can play NumBots on mobile devices and tablets. Alternatively if you’re playing on a PC or laptop, visit https://play.numbots.com/.

 Get in the Habit – Little and Often

In order to get the best out of NumBots, you should be playing NumBots regularly. Play in Story mode for short bursts, so we recommend 5 minutes each day. Little and often is key.

 Game Types

Story Mode – play here to practise key skills and get better at your number bonds and calculations. Story Mode is set out as a series of 18 Stages (Rust, Tin, Iron etc and ending in Diamond) and containing levels, a bit like Angry Birds. Rust is the first Stage and level 1 is unlocked, so this is the place for everyone to start. To unlock the next level, you need to earn two stars by showing how well you‘ve understood it. The more accurate and faster your answers are, the more stars and coins you’ll get. 

Challenge Mode – play here to get quicker at recalling key facts. You will get better at doing things like number bonds to 10, doubling small numbers or adding & taking away in your head. You will be working against the clock! There are 20 challenge levels and only the first is unlocked to begin with. You will be answering quick-fire questions to test your skill set and earn gold coins and trophies.
