Number Row Nova

TypingNumber RowGrades 3–6Keyboard

What students practice

Students practice typing on the number row above the letter keys, typing the number shown at each star in a hidden picture while following a dotted line to the next one and skipping stars that are not part of it.

How to play

Players type each star's number on the number row to send a line of light to it, continuing along the dotted path before a nova ring reaches the picture; a key-color guide shows which finger presses each number. A wrong key stops the sky and shows the number and the finger, and that number returns later; three completed rings end the flight.

Teacher Setup

Teacher Setup lets a teacher choose which number row keys are in play, from all ten down to the left or right hand or an index-finger reach, how many digits appear on the stars, and speed, plus whether the answer is shown after a miss; the end screen offers a printable student report listing the numbers to practice.
