We were fortunate enough to receive the Numero card game to review as part of our homeschool, and it was an exciting day when our cards arrived!
We love using manipulatives and hands on resources wherever possible to help maintain engagement in learning, and regularly incorporate games into our lessons.
Numero was a wonderful addition to our homeschool toolkit. I had my two children using the game: my 6 year old, who is in Kindergarten and still developing her early mathematical understanding, and my 9 year old, who is in Year 4 and has a good grasp of many mathematical concepts.
Using Numero with Different Ages and Abilities
What I love most about Numero was its ability to be adapted to different levels of learning and understanding. I was able to use the same game with both children while adjusting the challenge to suit where each child was at in their learning journey.
Now, admittedly, my 9-year-old was initially hesitant to give the game a go. She can be a little resistant to anything that feels too much like learning!
However, after watching her younger sister enjoy the game and repeatedly asking to play, she decided to give it a try. Before long, she was hooked! She now regularly requests to play Numero herself.
Making Maths Fun Through Play
It has been such an enjoyable way for both my children to practise their mathematical skills, further develop their understanding of numbers and operations and challenge their thinking. I love that they are learning and developing important skills while simply having fun together.
Some of the things we have particularly enjoyed about Numero include:
- The ability to adapt the game to different levels of mathematical understanding
- The opportunity to practise maths skills in a fun and engaging way
- The chance for both children to enjoy the same game, despite their age difference
- The fact that the children regularly ask to play it themselves
Setting Up and Learning To Play Numero
The game was easy and straightforward to set up. Once the children became familiar with how to play, they were able to set it up and enjoy a game without my guidance, which was a lovely bonus.
Numero is recommended to be played as a two-player game.
As visual learners, we also found it helpful to watch the Numero YouTube videos after reading the instructions. The videos helped us better understand the structure and rules of the game and made getting started even easier.
Our Numero Card Game Review: Would We Recommend It?
Numero has fitted perfectly into our homeschool resources. It is a hands-on learning tool that both children genuinely enjoy, regularly ask to play, and can continue to benefit from as their mathematical understanding develops. We love that Numero makes mathematics fun, engaging and adaptable, and it is definitely a resource we will continue using in our homeschool!
