form. Use the LEFT and RIGHT keys to toggle between 'ONE' and 'MANY',
then press ENTER to confirm your answer.

name is spoken. You need to press the correct number key. In the example
herewith, the number 5 is displayed onscreen. Type the number 5 on your

joystick and find the exit. This time you need to discover all the numbers
before you exit the maze.
The laptop will pronounce the name of the numbers when Spider-Man finds
them.
Be careful to collect them all before you exit: if there are still
numbers inside the labyrinth, you must begin again!
There are 2 levels of difficulty available.
ACTIVITY 14: Count the objects
A number of objects appear on the screen. Count them and type in your
answer. On the example herewith, 6 objects are displayed. Type the
number 6 on your keyboard.
Level 1: the objects are counted by a voice when they appear on the
screen.
Level 2: the objects are bigger in number and they just appear on the
screen without being counted.
ACTIVITY 15: More or Less?
In this game you need to compare two quantities. Different amounts appear
on both sides of the screen. You need to count the objects on each side
and then decide on which side there is a greater quantity. Use the LEFT
and RIGHT keys to point the ">" sign into the right direction and then press
ENTER. The tip of the ">" sign needs to point to the side which has the
smallest amount.
On the example herewith, there are 7 objects on the left side and 3 on the
right side. The ">" is pointing towards 3 as 7 is greater than 3 (7 > 3).
