Squeebles Number Bonds

Squeebles Number Bonds helps primary school children build their core mental arithmetic skills by answering number bonds questions across a variety of game modes. The app features a motivating reward system where Squeebles characters can be won for answering questions correctly, along with dragon eggs that can be hatched to reveal baby dragons (each with their own unique personality), once enough stars have been earned.

Why Number Bonds?

Number bonds can also be referred to as "number pairs" or "number families". A number bond is a pair of numbers that together make up a round number, such as 6 and 4 making 10; or 8 and 12 making 20. Working towards having an instant familiarity with these much-used number bonds is the basis for going on to work confidently with more complex or challenging maths problems involving larger numbers.

This app focuses on number bonds to 10, 20, 50, 100, 1000 and decimals to 1 that, in line with the UK National Curriculum, cover the different number bonds your child will be learning across their primary school years.

The app consists of four unique game modes with varying difficulty levels...

Balancing Act:
Drag numbered eggs onto a seesaw to balance the addition or subtraction questions.

Number Smash:
Select as many pairs of numbers as you can in the time limit, in an ever-changing grid of colourful sliding blocks.

River Crossing:

Timed Quiz:
Answer as many number bond questions as you can within a one or three minute time limit.
