About Number Memory
When you press Start, a number appears on the screen for a few seconds. Look at it carefully and try to remember it. When it disappears, a number pad appears, and you type the number back exactly as you saw it, then press Enter. If you get it right, you move up a level and the next number is one digit longer. If you get it wrong, the game ends and shows the level you reached. Your best level is saved so you can keep trying to beat it.
Tips for kids
Try saying the number quietly to yourself as you read it, that really helps it stick. For longer numbers, break them into small groups, the way phone numbers are grouped. Stay relaxed, a calm mind remembers better than a rushed one.
Why it helps learning
Number Memory exercises short term memory, which children use constantly in math, reading and following instructions. Practicing it is a fun, measurable way to stretch how much they can hold in mind at once.
