Bubble Reef
by ICDC
An underwater maths adventure!
Aimed at early primary level maths, Bubble Reef is another product from the link between Knowsley LEA, John Moore’s University and Inclusive Technology in the UK. Designed by teachers and advisors working with students from Knowsley LEA, all 12 activities have been designed to support and practise the maths skills required in early primary years.
Bubble Reef is an underwater adventure where you meet a variety of aquatic characters including:
- Burper, who has drunk too much soft drink
- The Meemees who are in a muddle and need to be put in the correct sequence
Bubble Reef can be used as part of the daily mathematical lesson, with the teacher selecting up to five games for children to play in groups of two or three. There are up to 12 games for the teacher to choose from, most at three levels of difficulty:
- Pre-school
- Year one
- Year two
The program also caters for children with special needs, offering the options of single and double switch access with control over scan speed.
The games cover many curriculum areas including:
- Recognising numerals
- Counting objects
- Sequencing
- Doubles and halves
- Addition
- Subtraction
- Multiplication
A recording system is built into Bubble Reef that enables teachers to read and print out a text-based group report. Screenshots of each game can also be printed out for use in the planning sessions.
Thirty four pages of worksheets have been carefully devised for the program by context specialists Charlotte Madine and Neil Hall. These and other teacher’s resources designed for use with and away from the computer can be accessed from the info screen.
