Learn to count with Gaia and her friends
Daniela Lucangeli, Nicoletta Perini
Gaia and her helper friends are ready for a new mission: to discover the bizarre planet where the Little Prince lives. However, a journey full of trials and challenges awaits them, which they can face and overcome only thanks to the superpower of numbers!
Numbers on the move is a fun game – created as part of the Model B612.Infinito project designed by Professor Daniela Lucangeli – that supports the prerequisites for learning mathematics: the ability to count, the recognition of numbers and quantities, and the memorization of the numerical sequence.
How does this happen during play? Every time they spin the spinner, it indicates a specific number. Children practice recognizing the number and naming it while moving along the course, so that they learn to connect the Arabic number to the quantity it represents.
