Numbersaurus by IqraSaurus · pilot guide
Five minutes a day, one number at a time
Numbersaurus teaches children aged 3 to 6 to count, and gives every number a true Islamic meaning: one is Allah, five is the pillars, seven is the heavens. Open it at numbers.iqrasaurus.com on a phone, tablet or class screen. There is no login.
The five minutes
- 1. Meet itSay the number and what it means. Each card has a one-line script for you, the grown-up.
- 2. Count itYour child taps to count on the screen, then shows it on their fingers.
- 3. Do itOne small thing to do together: count dates, walk seven circles, wash three times.
- 4. Tell itYour child tells someone what the number is for, and you sing its two-line chant.
When all four are done, the number becomes an egg in your child's nest.
At home
- Tap Today and “Bismillah, let's begin”. One new number opens each day.
- Missed a day? Nothing is lost. The nest only ever grows.
- Each child can have their own nest: choose who's learning in Settings.
- Earned numbers can be practised again any time.
In class
- Open Class on the projector and press Full screen.
- Use ← and → to move between numbers.
- Children take turns to come up and tap one egg each while everyone counts aloud.
- Finish with the chant, then hand out that number's worksheet.
Printing
Print has a free A4 black-and-white pack for 1 to 10 and 11 to 20: a sheet per number (trace, count and circle, colour, draw) and matching sheets. The colour poster of 1 to 10 opens after a short sign-up.
Please tell us
At the end of each number there is a one-tap question: Did your child enjoy it? Add a sentence if something worked well or didn't. Which numbers children repeat at home without being asked is the most helpful thing you can tell us.
