![]() ![]() The big difference though is that for me Number Munchers and similar games were a kind of interesting novelty that had simplistic graphics and game play. ![]() What do my 4 and 5 year old students like to do more than anything else including playing with blocks, going outside, and eating snack? Play on the classroom computer. Furthermore, often we would watch our friends play the game and shout out advice like “eat the number 49 it is a multiple of 7!” I don’t have any proof that Number Munchers helped me learn math concepts, but like I said I remember playing the game more than any math activities from Elementary School.įlash forward 20 years and now I am teaching Pre-K. It was not just me who enjoyed playing the game there was always a line of students who were waiting for their turn to play the game. I was obsessed with playing that game during recess and computer time. You earned points and advancement to the next levels by eating all of a certain kind of number such as primes or multiples of 4 that were in the grid. In the game, you had to move a little green frog like character around a grid filled with numbers while avoiding monster called Troggles. Number Munchers was a fairly simple video game that was similar to Pac Man. I don’t recall any of my teacher’s math lessons from fourth grade however, I do have vivid memories of playing Number Munchers.
