Multiplication Turtles

Learning objective

In Multiplication Turtles, the players get to practice their mental arithmetic skills by solving multiplication problems.

Game objective

The objective of the game is, as quickly as possible, to figure out the sum of the multiplication problem in each of the four hula hoops. After figuring out the sum of each multiplication problem, the players need to get the turtle with the correct sum on its back into each of the rings.

The game consists of ten rounds. In each round, the players are faced with four hula hoops, one in each corner of the screen. Inside each hula hoop is a multiplication problem. Outside of the four rings, ten turtles with a unique number on their backs are crawling around. To complete the round, the players need to solve the multiplication problems, locate the turtle that has the correct sum on its back, and drag and drop the turtle into the hula hoop. If the players have managed to place the correct turtle in each of the four hula hoops, they qualify for the next round with four new multiplication problems and different turtles. If the players have chosen an incorrect turtle for one or more of the multiplication problems, nothing will happen and the players will then need to identify and correct the mistake.

Time

After completing the ten rounds, the players are met with a screen that shows them how much time they needed to complete the game. This offers players the opportunity to see if they can improve that time in the next game.
