Student engagement in numeracy and number sense
Number Hive’s unique pedagogical approach builds, returns and reinforces numeracy and number sense foundations at the students pace, in a low stakes way, while the kids are having fun and driving their own learning.
Perfect for Schools
All teachers know that the best learning happens when the need is created for students to learn the desired content. Students drive their own learning and the whole process is a joy.
Number Hive supports numeracy and numbers sense at the students pace, in a low stakes way, while the kids drive their own Math(s) learning
Number Hive is designed to encourage deep levels of intrinsic motivation. The act of winning cells and blocking opponents requires the student to complete countless questions and think deeply about them, all in the context of a strategy game they don’t want to put down.
5 game changing ways to use Number Hive in your class:
-
Class warm up
Number Hive is the ideal way to build class motivation and focus on the key concepts you will be teaching at the start of the class – share the join code on the whiteboard and have a class tournament -
Ideal for early finishers.
There has never been a more exciting, enriching and engaging activity that students can move onto once finished. Students will work harder in order to move onto a game that only enrichens their learning. Win-win. -
Effective homework
There’s no better way to engage students to reinforce class learning than practising Number Hive. Involve parents to help ‘play’ their way to a deeper understanding of the concepts you’ve taught, or maybe those they have learnt previously but failed to retain. -
Fill knowledge gaps
Number Hive personlaises the learning for every student and meets them where they’re at. They can play low stakes practise rounds or against the best human players in the world. It builds the foundations that is expected (but rarely mastered) for students to progress in their learning journey. Number Hive fosters a deep understanding of these key concepts in such a way that students are driving their own learning and desiring to fill knowledge gaps as it increases their game strategy in a deeply engaging environment. -
Engage your class or school community
Build a class hive to get the whole class buzzing around a central focus, or create a school hive to generate a school wide competition that builds the profile and joy of maths across the whole school. Have a daily scoreboard on the notice board, have class champions play-off live on the big screen… the potential is endless.

A note about standards and alignment
There are some foundational concepts that are common to all global curricula for Mathematics. Number Hive is built focusing on many of these common foundations; at its heart, number relationships, number operations and multiplication facts.
These foundational areas are not only mandatory for teachers to address in upper primary levels, but they are assumed in lower secondary (middle) and beyond. We have plans for Number Hive to slide lower down the curriculum to basic addition and then all the way up to higher level algebraic skills.
