The game makes it easy and fun for your child to develop their number sense and gain an intuitive understanding of numbers. Kahoot!

FEATURES The app contains 4 different activities for your child to explore, each designed to challenge your child to use the Nooms and basic math in a different way. The "Sandbox" section of the game is designed to let your child explore and experiment with the Nooms. It's also the perfect tool for parents and teachers to explain basic math concepts to kids. In the "Puzzle" section, your child will use basic math to create their own puzzle pieces, and place them in the right spot to reveal a hidden picture. Every move your child makes reinforces number sense. Your child will perform thousands of operations while solving the 250 puzzles. In the "Ladder" section, your child will have to think strategically to build larger numbers. Your child will develop an intuitive understanding of how larger numbers relate to small numbers, and practice basic math strategies every step of the way. In the "Run" section, your child will have to direct the Noom down a path using quick mental calculations. Your child can use their fingers, Nooms, or numerals to jump over obstacles. This activity reinforces your child's number sense and trains their ability to quickly recognize and add numbers. Kahoot!
