About Number Games

A lot of people assume that number games are kind of boring. We here at Coolmath Games could not disagree more. There are a variety of ways to make numbers fun and exciting. Whether it's racing against the clock or applying math to sports games, you can easily have a great time doing some calculations. With so many different subgenres of number games too, you can find just about any style of game you want. There are the classic addition/subtraction games, but there's so much more variety than just that. Drawing games, aiming games, cooking games, magic games, sports games, the list goes on. There are practically no limits on what a math game can be.

Why would anyone play number games?

Great question! Many people wonder why anyone would play number games for fun. Oftentimes these games use quick math skills to give you an advantage in the game, but the actual game is already enjoyable, math or no math. So if you are a math whiz, the math element of the game does nothing but help you. Along with this, your math skills will continue to strengthen while having a great time doing it. Take Penalty Kick Online as an example. While the main part of the game is scoring and blocking goals, having some math skills goes a long way in winning. If you can answer a math question quickly, you earn an extra penalty kick. This is a major advantage and actually gives the game a great new dimension to it.

What are some fun number games?

Most games you click on are likely to be enjoyable. At Coolmath Games, we take pride in creating educational games that are also fun. This means that you are going to be playing something that is meant to be enjoyable. Applied math games tend to be very popular amongst players, but we recommend browsing around the playlist to see what catches your eye first.

Is there a trick to 2048?

There are many different strategies when playing one of our most popular number games, 2048. Our go-to strategy is the bottom left corner strategy. Your goal should be to push the highest number into the very corner. Try and pretty much always swipe either down or to the left. Never swipe up, unless you are absolutely forced to.

It is important to note that you can really go in any direction you want, it's just important to stay consistent. It is fine to go to the top right corner if you would want, just don't change your strategy to the other direction in the middle of the game. Having a plan is everything if you want to succeed in 2048.

Can video games help you with math?

Video games are a great way to learn math. You can fine-tune your skills in addition/subtraction with games like Plus 10 or Sum Blocks. Hone in on your multiplication/division skills with games like Number Drop or Calculate This! Practicing math will help you, whether it is doing times tables in class or competing against a computer in a video game.

If you want to learn math while playing a regular video game, don't worry! We have tons of skill and strategy games that just integrate math to give the game another dimension. One great example of this is Darts. Players must use their skills and aim to hit bullseyes and score points, but they must also solve math problems in the game to keep all of their points.

Advice about teaching your children about money

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Discover some fun ways to teach your children about money to help them develop good financial habits from an early age.

Your browser doesn't support HTML5 video tag.

12 ways to teach your children about money

1. Set a money quiz

Set younger children a quiz to help them learn some money basics, with questions that encourage them to see how money works in their world. You could ask which coin is the heaviest and which the most valuable? How much is a pint of milk? Whose picture is on every coin and note? What is a bank? How else can we pay for things rather than using cash?

Answering these questions will usually lead to many more questions for you, so it could be a good way to get a conversation about money started.

11. Explain how borrowing works

At some point in their future, they might need to borrow some money, so explain the basic principles. Start with the idea that you shouldn't borrow money unless you know how and when you can pay it back. You could say explain that banks and similar companies offer to lend people money, as long as they back a little extra so the lender makes a profit (which is called 'interest').

Explain different ways of borrowing, like borrowing from a friend or relative. Then move on to short-term options available to adults, like overdrafts and credit cards, to longer-term borrowing like personal loans and mortgages. Don't forget to mention that paying back money later than promised can mean you have to pay extra to the lender as a penalty for not paying the full amount of interest they expected.

12. Open a bank account for them

Most banks now have accounts designed to get children involved in managing their money. Some even provide a simple level of access online or through an app, and your child could even get their own pre-paid debit card (so they can never spend more than they have in the account).

It's for you to decide what's appropriate for your child, so look out for the account features you think are right. And remember that having a current account could help your children build a healthy credit history for when they become adults.

The Communication Consortium is a membership body made up of more than 35 community and voluntary sector (not for profit) organisations which support children's speech, language and communication development. This can be either for all children or children with particular speech, language and communication needs.

The purpose of the Consortium is to:

Share information, insight and intelligence concerning developments in the speech, language and communication sector

Share examples of best practice amongst Members at Consortium meetings

Work together to make submissions to government or sector consultations when it is felt a sector-wide response would be beneficial

Work together to present a sector voice when it is felt necessary or beneficial to do so

The Consortium Members normally meet three times per year. A Consortium Chair is elected by the Members for a period of two years to facilitate the meetings, and the Consortium is administered by I CAN. An Advisory Group provides advice and support to the I CAN Chief Executive for the strategic development of the Consortium, made up of The Consortium Chair, an I CAN Speech and Language expert and three Chief Executives or Directors of Member organisations who are elected to serve a three-year term each.

Where felt appropriate, Consortium members are encouraged to explore with each other funding opportunities. Where any funding opportunities for the work of the Consortium itself are identified, this will be shared with the Members for discussion and exploration.
Communication Consortium grant programme
During the three-year period, April 2020 to March 2023, a grant-giving programme is available for Consortium members, administered by I CAN and subject to funding. Only Consortium Members who have been active for at least 12 months will be eligible to apply for these grants.

Details about year 2 of the grant programme is available here

It's not just about talking. It isn't easy to see and recognise what happens beneath the surface of children's communication. Being able to listen, pay attention, play and understand are the fundamental building blocks of communication. Adults play a crucial role in supporting these skills. If a child can't listen and understand, they'll struggle to talk.
Signalong is based on British Sign Language, using unaltered BSL signs wherever possible. The difference between Signalong and other sign-supported communication systems, apart from our much wider range of signs, is the way that they are presented. When the sign has been selected, a description is worked out. This follows a consistent method of handshape, orientation, placement and movement.

Signalong is flexible and adaptable to suit your child by using key-word signing at their level and recording person specific signs in a way that they can be easily understood.

We can provide training to you, your child's educational establishment, after school clubs and respite providers to ensure that your child can always communicate effectively.

We welcome parents who wish to participate in Tutor Training for those with experience of sign-supported communication who wish to train others. This course is not just about teaching vocabulary but developing the necessary skills to access and perform all of our vocabulary. Most training occurs at our centre in Norwich, however we will deliver training anywhere subject to a minimum of 4 participants. Training will be delivered by an experienced Senior Tutor over 4 consecutive days. The number of participants is limited to a maximum of 6 to ensure all trainees receive significant supervision and support. We offer reduced fees to parents of £945 at the centre or £1045 away from the centre. Further information can be found in Training for Everyone but if you would like to discuss your interest, please contact Tracy Goode - Chief Executive Officer, via our contact form.

Our daughter had been taught at a school with total communication for deaf and special needs children, it came as quite shock that her residential home didn't understand the importance of following this up. Now, (following Signalong training) staff at her home have said our daughter's behaviour has improved immensely. Without intervention, our daughter would still be locked in a world of silence and becoming more frustrated, with escalating behavioural problems."
