One of NumberClub's underlying principles is to build feedback into every choice a student makes, so every maths question becomes more than "Woohoo, you got it right!" or "Boo, you got it wrong." It's the difference between judge for yourself and being judged.

Most EdTech platforms measure answers. At NumberClub, we're more interested in measuring thinking. We just passed 178,000 hours of mathematical thinking time. Here's why we think that might be a more meaningful number than questions answered. numberclub.com/blog/post/bf...

Every EdTech startup runs on an “article of faith” that what they do will help education. AI tutors. Better data. Faster marking. Ours is young children are far better at maths than we let them be. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Blog vist.ly/42kn8

I admit, as an EdTech founder it can get lonely. Too often we see learning through dashboards, not children. Fortunately we get lots of letters from teachers. So thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who takes the time to write. It makes all the difference.

Students can spend hours in deep thought in Minecraft. So what if math felt like that? Build games where the mathematics is the task, and reasoning is unavoidable. That’s how you get sustained, focused thinking.

Most platforms optimize for how many questions students answer. NumberClub removes the questions and builds the thinking.

In discussions about learning math facts through retrieval, we often underestimate one key difference between math facts and most other facts. If you don’t know that the capital of France is Paris, there’s no way to work it out. With maths facts, there's always a way.

Ideally, students would learn their basic number facts through doing lots of mathematics, not through repetitive fact drills. At NumberClub, we asked a simple question: how could we help students get through enough of the right kind of mathematics for those facts to stick?

A teacher shows this to a class and asks them to look for patterns. Over a few minutes they discuss it with the whole class till all can see the numbers in one column go down by the same factor as the numbers go up in the other, while the product remains the same. Is this DI or Discovery Learning?

This is what we think fluency looks like - can you follow their moves? 1x7x7x2=98; 98÷7÷7x2=4; 4x5=20; 20÷5÷2x11=22; 22÷11x13=26; 26÷13÷2x5x13=65... How could they get from 65 to 54? Comment below 👇 #NumberClub #fluency

Recalling facts is just one part of fluency. NumberRamble challenges children who 'know' facts to really use them, developing flexibility and number sense. It stretches thinking through huge amounts of reasoning and problem solving! How do you think you'd do? #NumberClub #fluency

So lovely watching children play our games. Two things stand out: 1) The huge amount of mathematical thought in this short clip 2) Sound on to hear the quiet concentration of the rest of the group doing the same.
