About ASL NumberWise

Interactive ASL Number Practice, Games & Student Analytics

ASL NumberWise is an interactive digital learning tool designed to help students build stronger receptive ASL number skills through animated signing, repeated practice, and game-based review.

Students can practice numbers from 0 all the way through 999,999,999, including the special movement patterns and number forms that make ASL numbers more than simple counting.

Teachers get more than just a practice game: NumberWise also provides individual and classwide formative assessment data to help identify strengths, common errors, and skills that may need additional review.

What NumberWise Covers

NumberWise includes practice with:

• Numbers 0–999,999,999
• 16–19, including two options
• 20s, including the correct L-handshape pattern
• Rocking numbers such as 67, 68, 69, 76, 78, 79, 86, 87, 89, 96, 97, and 98
• Hundreds, including multiple accepted ways numbers in the hundreds may be produced
• Thousands
• Hundred-thousands
• Millions
• Large numbers built naturally from the same signing patterns used in smaller numbers

Special forms continue to apply when they appear inside larger numbers, giving students practice recognizing ASL numbers as they are actually constructed rather than memorizing isolated examples.

More Than Basic Counting

NumberWise is designed to help students recognize the movement, orientation, handshape changes, and rhythm that distinguish ASL number forms.

Students can encounter numbers in a wide range of sizes and formats instead of stopping at 10, 20, or 100.

That makes it useful both for beginners building foundational number recognition and for more experienced students who need practice with:

• larger numbers
• place value
• rapidly changing number sequences
• similar-looking forms
• special number patterns
• increasingly fluent receptive recognition

Animated ASL Number Practice

An animated 3D hand presents numbers visually so students can practice recognizing numbers in motion.

Students can replay signs and work with different number ranges, allowing practice to scale from introductory numbers to numbers in the millions.

Interactive Practice & Games

NumberWise includes multiple interactive ways to practice receptive number recognition rather than relying on one repeated question format.

Activities can target skills such as:

• identifying a signed number
• selecting the correct number from multiple choices
• interpreting larger numbers
• comparing numbers
• estimation and number sense
• place-value recognition
• rapid receptive practice

Teacher Analytics Included

NumberWise gives teachers access to individual and classwide performance information.

Use the data to help identify:

• numbers students recognize consistently
• common mistakes
• difficult number patterns
• classwide trouble spots
• students who may need additional practice
• skills that are ready for more advanced review
