Ages 5โ€“8 ยท place value dojo

Fourteen or forty‑one?
Train the ear. Then the brain.

Eight games and three illustrated lessons that turn the trickiest part of early maths โ€” teen numbers, place value and carrying the one โ€” into a ninja belt you earn.

Three ideas that unlock the rest of maths

Most early maths trouble isn't arithmetic โ€” it's these three ideas going unsaid. Each one gets its own hands-on lesson before any game asks about it.

The teen vs -ty secret

Fourteen and forty‑one sound like cousins and get mixed up for years. The lesson slows the words right down so the difference becomes obvious โ€” and audible.

four‑TEEN = 14 FOR‑ty‑one = 41

Place value you can watch

The Number Machine has three houses. Fill the ones house past nine and ten cubes visibly bundle into a rod and move next door. Nobody has to be told the rule.

Why we carry the one

"Carrying" is just trading ten smalls for one big because the house is full. Once that lands, regrouping addition stops being a memorised dance.
