We’re Proud of How Much Teachers Love Number Hive

Teachers trust Number Hive to make math engaging, effective, and fun for their students. Here’s what a few have to say:

Pedagogy that is perfect for everyone

  • “I’m just no good at Mathematics”

    Heard that before? Well, it’s just not true… Confidence is the only barrier to mathematics learning. Every student can thrive if they understand the concepts and how to apply them. Number Hive builds true engagement, challenging students to learn complex number operations and gain mastery and confidence while driving their own learning.

  • “My students think mathematics is boring”

    Every teacher knows that engaging students in maths learning is not the same as trying to make it fun. True engagement happens when students are challenged productively. The gamification used in Number Hive is proven to help, as a teaching tool or as a class warm up strategy, to deliver deep understanding and confidence in operations.

  • “I wasn’t good at Mathematics either, so I don’t know how to help”

    Parents are often at a loss to support their children in Mathematics learning. Number Hive can be played solo, or uniquely in a ‘Hive’, playing against other family members in a closed group. This helps parents to confidently be involved in student learning like never before. Yes, you can learn mathematics at the same time!

  • “It’s hard to determine what a student already knows in order for me to meet the student exactly where they’re at.”

    Number Hive is a game where students can enter at whatever level they’re at and the game will meet them there. It personalised the learning experience through different levels of difficulty targeted exactly at where the student currently is. It focuses on reinforcing the foundational skills that students need to progress in mathematics.

  • “I struggle to get students to truly understand and retain the concepts”

    Homeschoolers often struggle to reinforce their teaching. Number Hive is the perfect practice and fluency tool, it fosters that deeper understanding, and is perfect before a lesson, after, or set as ‘fun’ homework revision. It doesn’t feel like homework because it’s so engaging. It gives immediate feedback and also encourages the family all being involved together.

Designed by a Mathematics teacher

Number Hive is designed by Chris, a veteran Mathematics teacher who saw the same struggles in the classroom time and again.

“Each year I would meet the new cohort of year 7’s. They arrived from different schools. However, they all brought in the same Mathematical baggage. And it always fitted in one of these buckets:

  • “I’m not a math person”

  • “Math is boring or irrelevant”

  • “Math is about rules”

  • “I can do it, but I don’t understand the concept”

My first goal was to help change these deeply ingrained attitudes that I could see hindering future progress and enjoyment of math.

One of the tools I used to address this huge pain point was an analogue game. It helped develop a growth mindset, was a game that students loved playing and most importantly, fostered a deep understanding of key foundations necessary for students to succeed.

The game helped my students overcome all these obstacles and led to a love of mathematics and opened the doors to a bright future in STEM.

I dreamt of turning the game into a scalable mathematics tool for fluency in numeracy to address these challenges, which I have since discovered are common in every math class across the globe.

Some time in Edutech, research and teacher training gave me the skills, tools and connections in order to take the plunge.
