What is Numberella?

Numberella is an engaging educational game designed to make learning mathematics fun and interactive for students. It combines elements of traditional board games with modern educational techniques to create a unique learning experience. The game is suitable for a wide range of age groups and skill levels, making it a versatile tool for educators. By turning math practice into a playful activity, Numberella helps to reduce math anxiety and increase student confidence.

One of the standout aspects of Numberella is its ability to cater to different learning styles. The game includes a variety of question types and difficulty levels, ensuring that all students are challenged appropriately. Additionally, Numberella encourages teamwork and collaboration, as students often work in groups to solve problems. This not only enhances their mathematical skills but also fosters important social skills such as communication and cooperation. The game also includes progress tracking, allowing teachers to monitor student performance and identify areas for improvement.

In schools, Numberella is typically implemented as part of the regular math curriculum or as a supplementary activity. Teachers can use it during class to reinforce concepts taught in lessons or as a fun way to review before tests. It can also be used in after-school programs or math clubs to provide additional practice in a less formal setting. The flexibility of Numberella means it can be adapted to fit various educational contexts, making it a valuable resource for any school looking to enhance their math instruction.

Requirements
Numberella requires the administrator / teacher to take a bit of time to learn how it works. In general, maths teachers can handle it fairly easily, and kids pick it up quickly (we know this from multiple feeedbacks) but parents have sometimes struggled to get their heads round it. There are instructional videos to help the process. Numberella is easier to work with in small groups of kids. We have had it used by a form teacher across his whole class, with great success, but it took him a bit of time to work out the magic formula, which was 3 kids to a box. That kept them totally engaged. Another school actually invited parents to volunteer and help run the game (this was with younger year 3 kids). Parents were very happy to do this, and the club ran successfully for the academic year, and will repeat next year - so this could be a way of raising parent involvement with the school.
  • The game itself requires nothing but a table. The online dimension requires tablets / devices for parents / kids to be able to follow progress outside of game time. The set up is easy.
  • Training
    In general, users have been able to pick the game up from online videos and the instructions within the game. It probably takes 30 minutes to familiarise oneself via rule books and videos, and then a couple of trial games before an administrator is confident with the product. Ultimately, it depends if the user is a 'board game' person or not - those used to the format will pick it up more quickly than those who are not.

    I have already recommended Numberella to colleagues and they LOVE it!

    April DeGennaro, PhD found Numberella:
    • Significantly improves attainment
      Students learned skills above their grade band because Numberella introduced them through gameplay and this motivated all students at the table to learn a skill.
    • Significantly builds student knowledge
      After answering a question, the explanation of the correct answer helps all students advance. Questions all students miss become opportunities for a full-class explanation after the game.
    • Significantly increases student collaboration
      The online houses encourage students to work together during a game to improve house standings. Several questions give points for such collaboration. Students experience camaraderie by seeing their houses ranking improve and cheer for members of their house who are possible "high-scorer" candidates.
    • Moderately reduces attainment gap
      I use Numberella at 3rd grade and the reliance on paper/pencil maths stifles students' development of mathematical thinking. Numberella requires them to "work maths out" in their heads thus improving mental models that build maths fluency and conceptual thinking.
    • Significantly improves parental engagement
      I had "parent coaches" who played games weekly with students. These parents reported their own maths skills improving, they loved the positive community that formed around Numberella and were pleased with their own children's positive attitudes about mathematics.
