Description

Dwarfs & Giants is a digital puzzle game teaching comparing, mostly focused on size (which is larger?) and overall look (dwarf or giant?).

On the easiest difficulty,

  • You get a tiny map with dwarfs and giants.
  • All of them are different sizes.
  • Simply Tap them in order from smallest to largest

An easy and effective way to teach anyone the idea of size differences and sequencing from small to large.

As usual, though, our puzzle contains 5 difficulty levels! Later difficulties add simple rules that turn it into a more challenging and exciting puzzle. For example, giants grow everyone around them, and nobody is allowed to become too big.

As expected, the game has no text, numbers, or complex actions. Just tap the character you think is the smallest right now. Thanks to these clever rules, though, it is an actual puzzle that will challenge older kids and adults too at the hardest difficulties.

REMARK! In the settings you can enable extra helpers to differentiate between dwarfs and giants. The tutorial can be turned off (both the narration and the image). You can also enable “number mode” to teach counting as well, as the numbers will directly correspond with the character’s sizes (1, 2, 3, …).

Have fun and keep learning!

This resource is part of the Mathematics subject. Below is a summary:

This subject teaches Mathematics from first principles to calculus. Level 1 explores the basic skills needed before you do any counting or see any numbers (such as grouping and comparing objects). Level 2(+) can then introduce numbers, counting, addition, multiplication, and more.

Spell: My First Comparisons

This resource is part of the My First Comparisons topic (or "spell").

Earlier topics taught Apprentices to identify if things are the same or not. This topic takes the next step: HOW are they different? This also gently introduces the idea of sequencing: putting things in order based on … something.

Ready for the next step?

The Spell (or "educational topic") of this product is My First Comparisons.

Use the buttons to navigate to the next or previous Spell. It selects a product of the same type if possible. Otherwise it brings you to the overview page.

The Faction (or "product type") of this product is Puzzlepages.

This approach might work for some Apprentices but not for others! That's why we recommend exploring each topic in a variety of ways.

Maybe a (different) game works better? Or a quiz, story, or escape room? Below are some random suggestions.
