Close About Number Words Sprint
Recognise number words to 20, find one more or one less, and continue counting sequences to 100. The default practice mode is untimed, so the learner can think before choosing. Correct answers build a gentle celebration; mistakes receive corrective feedback and return later rather than causing a penalty spiral.
Curriculum purpose Learning objective: Recognise written number words, identify one more and one less, and continue simple counting sequences.
Curriculum anchor: England mathematics programme of study: Year 1 number and place value.
This game is designed as short independent practice after an idea has been introduced. It does not replace direct teaching, mathematical or scientific discussion, or an adult checking whether the learner can explain the idea away from the screen.
For parents and carers Ask the learner to say each number word aloud and form it independently away from the multiple-choice screen after recognising it. Stop while attention is still good. A short accurate return tomorrow is more useful than extending a tired session today.
Frequently asked questions Does it need an account? No. The game runs in the browser and asks for no name, email address, school or location.
Is it timed? Practice is untimed. Where a sprint exists it is optional. Times Tables Sprint also includes MTC-style independent practice, not an expected-standard judgement.
Can it be used on a phone? Yes. Buttons support touch and keyboard use; sorting always has a tap alternative to dragging.
