HOW IT WORKS

Select between 18 levels of difficulty from easy to challenging! Each level contains a series of challenges involving patterns of numbers and shapes. The number train rattles into the station with Akili or Little Lion at the helm. Drag and drop the correct figures into the train’s carriages to set it tooting on its way again!

The easier levels (1-5) will challenge your kid to identify patterns in shapes by filling in the missing figures on the characters. In the harder levels, Akili needs help putting numbers in order from smallest to largest!

To arrange the numbers and shapes, just touch and drag the cards and drop the in place on the empty carriages of the number train. If you put the card in the right place it will stay there. If you get it wrong it will bounce back down to the deck. Once the train is full of correctly organised cards, fireworks will fly and the train will roll out of the station.
