Tatau makes learning the Māori counting system into a game. You are timed as you attempt to translate numerals like “2023” into spoken Māori – e rua mano, e rua tekau mā toru. The numbers begin at a single digit and work up to six-digit behemoths.
It’s a simple app but the gamification is extremely effective. High scores are global and public, so if you do well, you can proudly trumpet your name for all to see. Use that as motivation, and in no time, you’ll know tahi to iwa without even thinking. Try to beat my score of 1896 points!
Tip: if you’re new to numbers in Māori, or your knowledge ends at e iwa tekau mā iwa, tap “Learn” in the main menu for a quick crash course before you jump into the game.
