NumBots is all about every child achieving the “triple win” of understanding, recall and fluency in mental addition and subtraction, so that they move from counting to calculating.

Numbots is geared towards Foundation, Year 1, Year 2 and then any students in Year 3-6 who are not yet fluent with automatic recall of addition and subtraction facts.

Watch this video with your child to show them how to use it

Encourage your child to do 5-10 minutes of Numbots per day.

Times Table Rockstars is a Maths app aimed at Year 2 to Year 8.  It is carefully built in a specific sequence of small steps to help children learn and then practise their times tables, building speed and accuracy as they play.  It is played online. It is best played for five to fifteen minutes, three to five times per week.

Having a really good grasp of the key facts will give your child confidence, speed and accuracy in their Maths as they build onto a solid foundation.

The Numbots and Times Table Rockstars sites are designed by experienced teachers and developed over years of trials and understanding of how best to learn Maths number facts.  They are both built to offer children a few key facts, over and over until they know them - then introducing some more.
