Visit the robot factory where creativity takes centre stage! In this engaging digital game, students explore a series of colourful image sets to select three that meet the target criteria. Each correct group earns them a new robot part, bringing them one step closer to completing their robot masterpiece!

This game challenges students to demonstrate their understanding of prime and composite numbers. They’ll identify definitions, determine whether a number is prime or composite, and select correct examples from a group of numbers. With every accurate response, they unlock exciting new robot parts to assemble their own custom creation.

Let’s Build – Prime & Composite Numbers combines number classification with creativity, encouraging students to apply their knowledge in a fun, visual, and hands-on way. It’s perfect for developing mathematical thinking while boosting student engagement and confidence.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Define prime and composite numbers
• ✅ Classify numbers as prime or composite
• ✅ Select correct numbers from a set based on classification
• ✅ Strengthen number sense and reasoning
• ✅ Engage in interactive learning through gamified tasks

How to Play:

1. Students are presented with a question involving prime and composite numbers.
2. They select three correct images that match the target criteria (e.g. all prime numbers).
3. Each correct group earns a robot part to add to their unique creation.
4. Once the robot is complete, they get to watch it come to life in a dance celebration!

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Use during maths rotations to reinforce prime and composite understanding in a visual context.
• 💡 Encourage peer discussion before selecting each group to promote mathematical reasoning.
• 💡 Extend learning by having students sort a list of numbers into prime and composite categories.
• 💡 Have students draw and label their completed robot with the prime/composite criteria they used.

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Let students personalise their experience by choosing from six characters before the game begins
• 💛 Select the number of players or teams at the start of the game to suit individual, paired, or group play
• 💛 Send the QR code home for students to play as a homework or revision task

Let’s Build – Prime & Composite Numbers makes learning number properties a dynamic experience where maths meets imagination, one robot part at a time!
