Time to lace up your boots and take on the mountain challenge! In this cooperative digital game, students must work together to answer questions about doubling, halving, and number patterns as they climb higher and higher up the mountain trail.

Each correct answer brings them closer to the summit, with the scenery changing as they go. If playing as a team, all characters move together—meaning every student contributes to the group’s success. At the end of the journey, a digital polaroid snapshot captures how far they made it, encouraging students to try again and reach the top!

With a strong focus on multiples of 2, 5 and 10, Let’s Hike – Doubling & Halving Number Patterns helps build confidence and fluency with number patterns in an engaging, goal-driven format.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Recognise and continue number patterns using doubling and halving
• ✅ Identify and apply knowledge of multiples of 2, 5 and 10
• ✅ Develop fluency with number relationships and operations
• ✅ Strengthen pattern recognition and reasoning skills
• ✅ Engage in collaborative, interactive maths practise

How to Play:

1. Students are presented with a question involving doubling, halving, or multiples.
2. Each correct answer moves them up the mountain to the next level.
3. Scenery changes as they progress, adding to the adventure feel.
4. Players continue answering until all questions are completed.
5. A final snapshot shows how far they made it—encouraging replay for full mastery!

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Use during lessons or rotations focused on number patterns, particularly multiplication and division by 2, 5, and 10
• 💡 Play in teams to encourage cooperation and collective problem-solving
• 💡 Great for revisiting foundational skills in a new, interactive way
• 💡 Pair with hands-on pattern creation using counters, number cards, or whiteboards
