Hive Wrapped 2025: A Year of Purposeful Teaching, Calm Classrooms & Global Impact

Tam Milledge·Teaching·4 minute read

Some of these stats genuinely blew us away. Welcome to End-of-Year Wrapped… Hive Style!

This year, Hive teachers taught, planned, organised — and created impact that stretched across 72 countries and supported 220,904+ students.

Across thousands of classrooms, Hive members embraced intentional tech — the kind that lifts evidence-based teaching and keeps learning hands-on, calm and purposeful. And when we look back at the numbers, every click, tap and upload paints a story of teachers working smarter, not harder.

Let’s take a look at what Hive teachers achieved together in 2025.

But first, are you curious about why thousands of teachers can't get enough of The Hive? Try it for free, and explore the innovative digital tools that teachers return to again and again!

Digital Learning Tools That Brought Lessons to Life

Most-Used Digital Learning Tools:

  • Handwriting Lines
  • Beedle
  • Hundred Square
  • Word Builder
  • Base Ten Blocks

Tools that support clarity, confidence and evidence-based instruction — without ever replacing the magic of hands-on learning.

(This category was hotly contested - many other digital tools JUST missed out on the Top 5...)


Purposeful Tech for Smoother Days

Smooth days start with the right tools. The best tech is purposeful, not overwhelming.

This year, teachers relied on digital classroom tools that kept routines running smoothly.

Here are the digital classroom tools that you turned to again and again...

  • Timer
  • Student Grouper
  • Spinner Picker
  • Hive Five Points
  • Noise Meter

Tools designed to work with hands-on learning — not replace it.

  • Plan — your digital teaching HQ
  • Resources — your shortcut to purposeful learning
  • Apps — your students’ favourite corner of The Hive
  • Next Guess (Beedle) — because your students literally cannot get enough of this game!
  • Pick (Student Picker) — your tiny fairness machine
