Numero® is designed to develop critical maths skills while keeping students engaged. It aligns with key learning objectives and supports both classroom and independent learning around numeracy skills in mathematics.

Addition and Subtraction Math Skills building for Early Years with the Numero Maths Education Game

Younger students can start by using less than a full deck, perhaps choosing 1–5, 1–8, 1–10, 1–12, or 1–15, depending on their knowledge of basic numbers. At this level of Numero®, students will only be matching, allowing the number recognition, subitising and sequencing to be of utmost importance.

The addition level of Numero® is the next step, although it should be taught initially with older or more capable students so they learn the basic game, embracing the first two Golden Rules. Once competent at this level, the four subtraction cards may be added to the deck of 60 number cards, enabling the two operations of addition and subtraction. This then introduces the third and final Golden Rule.

Key Learning Outcomes for Early Years with Numero® from Kindy to Middle Primary (Year 1-3)

Children in their early developmental years can master basic number recognition & sequencing and begin to build on addition and subtraction principles with Numero®. This is a highly beneficial introduction to maths at an early age.

Early Years and Middle Primary

Teaches and reinforces basic number recognition 1–15.
Teaches and reinforces subitising skills 1–15, both perceptual (instantly recognise quantities below 5) and conceptual (breaking large groups into smaller groups, linking to the part-part-whole idea of number). The latter targets early additive thinking concepts.
Teaches and reinforces sequencing 1–15. This provides opportunities for teaching comparison, e.g., greater than, less than, equal to.
Aids understanding of early years mathematical language, such as biggest, smallest, largest, littlest, highest/higher, lowest/lower, same, different, matching, pair and so on.
Verbalisation of all moves, ensuring full understanding and the ability to explain/prove their actions through language, as well as physical movement of cards.
Can be used to consolidate understanding of number facts and word strategies at multiple levels (including Friends of Ten; Number Pairs to Ten; Number Bonds; etc).
Teaches and reinforces through simple addition and subtraction games and shows how these are inverse operations.
It is highly visual, so students can see, count and tell the maths.
Reinforces two-digit addition sums and two-digit subtraction in an interactive format.

If you’re looking for addition games for kindergarten or pre-primary or effective math subtraction games to support early learning, Numero® provides a structured yet flexible tool for building foundational basic maths skills.

Advanced Addition and Subtraction Strategies for Older Students With Math Games

Middle/Upper Primary & Secondary Years

Once students master basic addition and subtraction, Numero® encourages strategic thinking and problem-solving with more complex equations, including two-digit addition sums.

At this stage, students will:

Continue the progression in the early years section above (addition and subtraction).
Continue to develop the understanding of further mathematical language, such as addition (add, plus, sum) and subtraction (minus, take-away), as well as more than and less than.
Develop strategic thinking skills to apply strategies to larger numbers (two-digit addition and subtraction).
Develop early estimating skills to assist decision making.
Improve ability to ‘see what’s ahead’ and develop ‘adaptive thinking’.
Increase speed of recall of number patterns in the additive maths space.
Develop skills to think flexibly with numbers and operations.
Understanding the value and importance of zero.
Start to consider negative values, “going below zero”! (Using subtraction creatively.)

Numero® aligns perfectly with the curriculum, a great tool for improving basic mental maths, problem-solving and strategic thinking.
