Visit the robot factory where students will mix and match robot body parts to build their very own creation - one correct answer at a time! In this engaging and interactive digital game, students practise number formation skills by building the smallest possible two-digit number using a set of given digits.

Each question challenges students to think critically about place value. They are given three digits and must select the smallest two-digit number they can create using just two of the digits. With every correct answer, they unlock a new robot piece, getting closer to constructing a one-of-a-kind robot masterpiece.

Let's Build - Making the Smallest 2 Digit Number is a fantastic way to help students explore tens and ones, strengthen their understanding of number comparisons, and build number sense, all while enjoying a fun, hands-on digital experience.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Develop an understanding of place value in two-digit numbers
• ✅ Use reasoning to determine the smallest possible number from given digits
• ✅ Compare and construct numbers based on numerical order
• ✅ Engage with maths content in a creative, visual, and interactive format
• ✅ Build confidence with number manipulation and formation

How to Play:

1. Students are presented with three digits in each round.
2. They must select two of the digits to create the smallest possible two-digit number.
3. Each correct answer adds a new piece to their robot.
4. Once their robot is complete, they’ll get to watch it celebrate with a dance party!
5. Students can replay the game to build new robots and reinforce their understanding.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Use during maths rotations focused on place value and number comparison
• 💡 Great for Year 1–3 students working on number formation and fluency
• 💡 Pair with a follow-up activity asking students to explain their reasoning or record their smallest numbers
• 💡 Add as a fast-finisher task to keep students engaged in meaningful learning

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Let students personalise their experience by selecting a robot style before they begin
• 💛 Replayability makes this game great for reinforcing skills over time
• 💛 Use the QR code to assign as a homework or home learning task

Let's Build - Making the Smallest 2 Digit Number brings place value to life in a colourful, motivating format that keeps learners challenged, entertained, and excited to play again!
