We’re excited to let you know that ks1 are using NumBots, a fun and interactive online programme designed to help children build strong foundations in number sense, addition, and subtraction.
NumBots is all about helping children develop quick recall of number facts and confidence with mental maths – essential skills for success in primary maths and beyond!
How Can You Use NumBots at Home?
Using NumBots at home is easy and really beneficial. Here’s how you can support your child:
- Log In Together
Your child has their own login details. You can access NumBots on a tablet, computer, or phone. - Little and Often Works Best
Just 10–15 minutes a few times a week can make a big difference. The games are short, engaging, and designed to build skills step-by-step. - Celebrate Progress
Children earn coins and unlock new levels as they play. Celebrate their achievements and encourage them to keep going! - No Pressure
NumBots is designed to be low-stress and supportive. Let your child play at their own pace and enjoy the journey.
Why It Matters
Strong number fluency helps children:
- Solve problems more confidently
- Understand patterns in maths
- Tackle more complex calculations later on
NumBots is a great way to reinforce what we’re learning in class in a fun and motivating way.
If you have any questions or need help logging in, please don’t hesitate to ask your child’s class teacher.
