Numberblocks World is a very entertaining yet educational game for kids to build a sense of numbers and math in general. It is often adopted as part of the teaching plan for school teachers who want to help kids understand numbers in an engaging and effective way. This guide provides practical tips for teachers to better utilize and integrate this game in their classrooms. To understand how this works, teachers first need to know that Numberblocks World is a number-based adventure plus regular quizzes. Knowing this mechanism, teachers can tactfully incorporate the gameplay into its teaching procedure.

First, teachers can use the animated videos from the game for their class warning-up. Those funny and educational videos can quickly capture children’s attention and arouse their interests.

Then, teachers can introduce the number of the day by showing the in-game imageries of the specific number. Besides, they can also display those animated numbers in different contexts. This procedure helps kids visually perceive the number they will be learning and understand the number in lively contexts rather than in dry and boring definitions.

After students being primed with audio-visual number effects, teachers can let kids make their own number. They can play a number-based challenge in the game to explore the composition of this number. Likewise, teachers can also ask students to make a different number they already knew or a new number, and display this number in their own contexts.

Furthermore, teachers can challenge kids to guess the number in their mind by giving the prompts they see previously in the videos or games. This step can deepen children’s understanding of the number they have just learned.

Finally, teachers can take advantage of the in-game quizzes to help wrap up the class naturally and fruitfully because teachers can gain an insight of the teaching/learning effect of that particular class.
