So how do you play?
You roll a dice to choose a card, and then answer the question on it to earn Antcoins, the currency of the game. The person with the most Antcoins when the buzzer goes, wins the game.
In a 1 hour game, 4 children will perform at least 300 calculations, greatly improving fluency. Watch the video below to see how!
The game is also great fun, which is why kids love to play. Alongside maths questions, it contains 'Fortune Cards', which balance the knowledge requirement with luck. Use Miss A Go to make another player miss a turn, The Thief to steal their money, or Harry Hijack to take their question from them.The luck offsets the knowledge requirement, resulting in a game which everyone believes they can win, notwithstanding their math level.

It's not just in the UK that teachers think Numberella makes kids better at maths - Heidi Long, teacher of gifted students at Tunnel Hill Elementary, US, said that using Numberella translated into better performance at Maths Olympiads.
In fact, so popular has the game proven, that it has been adopted as part of the curriculum in Bulloch County, Georgia, where it is played across the county as part of their gifted programme. Click here to see the game being played in a 9 school competition in Statesboro.
