For ages 5-14

Does your child need extra help with numeracy? Numbershark is a fun and effective solution.

This games-based numeracy program gives students the skills and confidence to move forward with their maths. It is especially helpful for children with dyscalculia. It covers everything from simple sums to more tricky concepts such as fractions and decimals.

Numbershark is used by students of all abilities but is especially popular for SEND. Catch-up students can revisit simple topics without feeling patronised, and students can learn at their own pace.

‘Topics’ to choose from

The program gives you over 500 number topics, from counting and addition, to fractions and decimals. There are 2,000 worded problems, developing many skills as well as providing real-life examples.

The games

The games are motivating and visual. A variety of formats within the games help to make sense of numbers: rods and digits, words, abacuses, pie charts, 100 square and more.

For dyscalculia and catch-up

The program is ideal for children with dyscalculia, but it’s equally effective for anyone who has gaps in their numerical knowledge or understanding.

Easy to use

Numbershark is an extensive tool but it’s also user-friendly. Simply toggle between ‘choose game’ and ‘change topic’. There are help screens within the games if you need them.
