Give your child the foundation they need for future math learning with DragonBox Numbers.

DragonBox Numbers will teach your child what numbers are, how they work, and what you can do with them. The game makes it easy and fun for your child to gain an intuitive understanding of numbers. Its a great introduction to the wonderful world of math.

DragonBox Numbers brings math to life by turning numbers into colorful and relatable characters, called Nooms. The Nooms can be stacked, sliced, combined, sorted, compared and played with, any way your child pleases.

The app contains 4 different activites for your child to explore, each designed to challenge your child to use the Nooms and basic math in a different way.

The "Sandbox" section of the game is designed to let your child explore and experiment with the Nooms. Its also the perfect tool for parents and teachers to explain basic math concepts to kids.

In the "Puzzle" section, your child will use basic math to create their own puzzle pieces, and place them in the right spot to reveal a hidden picture. Every move your child makes reinforces number sense. Your child will perform thousands of operations while solving the 250 puzzles.

In the "Ladder" section, your child will have to think strategically to build larger numbers. Your child will develop an intuitive understanding of how larger numbers relate to small numbers, and practice basic math strategies every step of the way.

In the "Run" section, your child will have to direct the Noom down a path using quick mental calculations. Your child can use their fingers, Nooms or numerals to jump over obstacles. This activity reinforces your childs number sense and trains their ability to quickly recognise and add numbers.

DragonBox Numbers is based on the same pedagogical principles as the other games in the award-winning DragonBox series, and works by integrating the learning seamlessly into the gameplay, no quizzes or mindless repetitions. Every interaction in DragonBox Numbers is designed to heighten your child’s understanding of numbers and strengthen his or her love of math, giving your child a great foundation for future math learning.

Pros and cons of DragonBox Numbers app for iPhone and iPad

DragonBox Numbers app good for

This is seriously one of the best apps in the history of apps. I love the way it teaches numbers and maths without looking like anything other than a really fun and super cute game. We love the Nooms, and my daughter likes to talk about them like, "what is brown plus green"? I LOVE that!!!! I would rate it higher if I could!
My 3 yo adores this app and has learned so much. As an educator Im excited that it is much more then memorizing facts or basic recall- it really gets to the heart of what makes a number a number. So great. Anyway, I was incredibly disappointed when I pulled out my Cuisenaire rods and the colors are not the same! It seemed like such an obvious extension, yet my son was so confused by the color change when we tried to do puzzles together. A real missed opportunity there.

Some bad moments

Educational and great way to learn numbers and basic addition and subtraction. Cant wait for more games from this company !
I have twin boys who are almost 5. They each couldnt wait to play with this.
Five-year-old plays Dragon box every now and then, he really likes it but still kind of struggles with it. When I saw this game I was so excited because my three-year-old has been struggling with number recognition and figured Id give this one a shot. My three-year-old has already done over half the puzzles and I downloaded this game yesterday... Both of my boys absolutely love this game!!! Please keep them coming. Much love The Arnos
The concept is simple- combine blocks around to form numbers. The numbers form a picture and kids are rewarded with coins and happy music. As they advance, they are better able to manipulate numbers and their arithmetic skills improve. We originally purchased this for my five-year-old to better improve her number sense. Her arithmetic and number skills have improved dramatically. Surprisingly, my three and nine-year-old children also love this game. My nine-year-old has completed the dragon box geometry and algebra games, but still very much enjoys the numbers/ Nooms game. I three-year-old can play at the beginner levels, but his addition Im counting skills have improved because of this game. And win-win for everyone! I highly recommend this game in addition to the rest of the dragon box family.
My three kids, ages 12, 7, and 2 all enjoy this app. My eldest plays with it just because its fun, my middle is still learning some aspects of the content, and of course my youngest is just gaining exposure. The story "book" sent by email after we registered was brilliant! My youngest really got excited to play the game after we read the story, and having names for the numbers was really handy. We have wished that there were more stories about them. Ive actually just finished playing the whole thing also. I found it to be a lot of fun, much better than hanging out on my usual social media. Update: the new section of the game is fun too! Its a great addition to the product.
This game had a lot of thought put into it. It has an experimentation area and three types of games. Each game is different but the number principles and number “physics” are consistent between all games. This game was a hit with the preschoolers and kindergarteners in my class and engaged their attention longer than just about any app I have seen them work with. It is more expensive than most apps, yes, but it is well worth the money. I cannot think of a better way to spend $8 on a math lesson. This app has many levels of play and many puzzles for each level. On their puzzle game I counted 30 categories with 9 puzzles each for a total of 270 puzzles. The way the designers have set this game up to teach number concept is very effective. The way the numbers/quantities are built and added upon and how they can also be sliced into smaller numbers/quantities, is pure genius! This app is an excellent tool to learn number concept-one of the best out there. I can say enough about how well this app can teach and reinforce number concept and numerals. This app is a must have for teaching experiential math concepts.
