All aboard—it’s time to dive for treasure! In this fun and focused digital game, students answer number sequencing questions to collect treasure from the ocean floor. Each piece of treasure is worth a different number of points, and the player with the most points at the end of the game wins!

Students will be shown four sets of the same numbers arranged in different orders and asked to choose the set that is in the correct ascending sequence. For example, given the numbers 6, 16, 61, 66, students must find the option that lists them in the correct order. This game supports number comparison, place value knowledge, and sequencing strategies up to 120.

But watch out—answer incorrectly and your treasure slips back into the sea! Occasionally, a mystery treasure chest appears, offering a surprise reward to boost engagement and replayability.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Identify correctly ordered number sequences to 120
• ✅ Strengthen understanding of place value and digit position
• ✅ Develop fluency in comparing and ordering numbers
• ✅ Reinforce number sequencing in a meaningful, real-world context
• ✅ Engage in interactive maths practise through risk-reward gameplay
