Negative numbers finally make sense. Negative Numbers is a colourful maths game that teaches kids how numbers below zero really work β€” one friendly level at a time. No walls of text, no pressure. Just a cheerful penguin, a number line you can actually drag, and 100 levels that build real confidence. DRAG THE NUMBER LINE Every adding and subtracting question comes with a number line you can play with. Slide the ball left and right, watch the value change as you count, and see for yourself why βˆ’4 + (βˆ’2) lands on βˆ’6. It is a scratchpad, not a test β€” moving it never costs you points. 100 LEVELS ACROSS 8 WORLDS The course grows with your child, one skill at a time: β€’ Below Zero β€” meet the minus and add negatives β€’ Going Down β€” subtracting, and why two minuses make a plus β€’ Mix & Match β€” plus and minus in the same puzzle β€’ Sign Factory β€” multiplying with signs β€’ Split the Sign β€” dividing with signs β€’ Power Up β€” square numbers, and the bracket trap β€’ Root Cave β€” square roots β€’ Grand Master β€” everything, all at once LEARN FROM EVERY ANSWER Each level opens with a short lesson card and a worked example.
