Promote Independence and Deep Understanding
Number Hive empowers students to take control of their learning, enhancing their fluency in numeracy by deepening their understanding of the ‘why’ and ‘how’ behind mathematics. This approach builds confidence and leads to genuine mastery of key concepts.
Motivate All Learners
Students can practice solo or compete with others in their ‘Hives’, earning leaderboard points for effort and skill. As a powerful mathematics tool for fluency in numeracy, Number Hive motivates learners of all abilities to keep playing, enhancing their mathematics proficiency with every game.
Heard that before? Well, it’s just not true… Confidence is the only barrier to
mathematics learning. Every student can thrive if they understand the concepts and
how to apply them. Number Hive builds true engagement, challenging students to
learn complex number operations and gain mastery and confidence while driving
their own learning.
Every teacher knows that engaging students in maths learning is not the same as
trying to make it fun. True engagement happens when students are challenged
productively. The gamification used in Number Hive is proven to help, as a teaching
tool or as a class warm up strategy, to deliver deep understanding and confidence in
operations.
“I wasn’t good at Mathematics either, so I don’t know how to help”
Parents are often at a loss to support their children in Mathematics learning. Number
Hive can be played solo, or uniquely in a ‘Hive’, playing against other family
members in a closed group. This helps parents to confidently be involved in student
learning like never before. Yes, you can learn mathematics at the same time!
“It’s hard to determine what a student already knows in order for me to meet the student exactly where they’re at.”
Number Hive is a game where students can enter at whatever level they’re at
and the game will meet them there. It personalised the learning experience through
different levels of difficulty targeted exactly at where the student currently is. It
focuses on reinforcing the foundational skills that students need to progress in
mathematics.
“I struggle to get students to truly understand and retain the concepts”
Homeschoolers often struggle to reinforce their teaching. Number Hive is the
perfect practice and fluency tool, it fosters that deeper understanding, and is perfect
before a lesson, after, or set as ‘fun’ homework revision. It doesn’t feel like
homework because it’s so engaging. It gives immediate feedback and also
encourages the family all being involved together.
Number Hive is designed by Chris, a veteran Mathematics teacher who saw the same struggles in the classroom time and again.
“Each year I would meet the new cohort of year 7’s. They arrived from different schools. However, they all brought in the same Mathematical baggage. And it always fitted in one of these buckets:
“I’m not a math person”
“Math is boring or irrelevant”
“Math is about rules”
“I can do it, but I don’t understand the concept”
My first goal was to help change these deeply ingrained attitudes that I could see hindering future progress and enjoyment of math.
One of the tools I used to address this huge pain point was an analogue game. It helped develop a growth mindset, was a game that students loved playing and most importantly, fostered a deep understanding of key foundations necessary for students to succeed.
The game helped my students overcome all these obstacles and led to a love of mathematics and opened the doors to a bright future in STEM.
I dreamt of turning the game into a scalable mathematics tool for fluency in numeracy to address these challenges, which I have since discovered are common in every math class across the globe.
Some time in Edutech, research and teacher training gave me the skills, tools and connections in order to take the plunge.
