The Multiplication Express — multi-digit multiplication
The Multiplication Express is a railroad puzzle where students become junior train conductors and work through the standard algorithm one digit at a time (problems like 35 × 28), using place value and regrouping along the way.
What teachers are saying
Mike: Focuses on two- and three-digit multiplication with a railroad theme. Incorporates place value relationships and regrouping, scaffolds each problem, and is great for practice or early finishers.
Michele: Bright and charming — a low-risk way to practice the standard algorithm step-by-step. Helpful feedback, unlimited attempts, real-world word problems, and a “spot the mistake” mode. Supports differentiation as players choose harder problems when ready.

Mathbots — multiplication and division equations
Mathbots sends students on a cosmic quest with inventive robots. Players use multiplication and division strategies, place value (ones and tens), and word problems to operate chain-reaction machines and advance the story.
What teachers are saying
Mike: Engaging space-themed story with a robot in a spaceship. Students practice multiplication and division strategies with explanations and illustrations before each concept. Perfect for extra practice.
Michele: Eye-appealing animation and a real-world context that’s easy to navigate. Students solve word problems with tens and ones across nine levels, with satisfying feedback for correct answers and retries for mistakes. An engaging and effective classroom tool.

Divide & Deliver — division with base-10 numbers
Divide & Deliver helps Mo the Monkey run a fruit stand. Students drag-and-drop fruit bundles to solve division problems by loading carts with the exact amounts — connecting multiplication and division through place value (ones, tens, hundreds).
What teachers are saying
Mike: Gives students opportunities to practice division using various strategies through problems that increase in difficulty. Great for extra practice.
Michele: A solid choice for students exploring the relationship between multiplication and division. Intentionally paced with a step-by-step visual approach; difficulty grows by introducing tens and hundreds. Three-star rewards and unlimited attempts keep learners motivated.

Last Line — coordinate plane practice
Last Line puts students on defense in Alpha Quadrant. Build defensive units by entering coordinates on the X and Y axes and protect the base — practicing ordered pairs, origin, and the coordinate plane.
What teachers are saying
Katie: Students battle space enemies while practicing and interacting with coordinate pairs.
Christin: Teaches the coordinate plane and how to locate points. Students find given coordinates and enter their own to position defensive bots. Plan a little extra time — it’s a longer game if you want students to complete all levels.
