Multiplication Maze Mountain takes the chore out of learning those multiplication tables by sending your children on a mathematical journey through the labyrinths hidden deep within the mountain's core. In each labyrinth, your child faces the challenge of finding three keys which work together to unlock the maze's exit door -- which also happens to be hidden within the labyrinth. Most of the passageways in the mazes have been blocked by falling debris and boulders over the years. So, the young explorers won't know what lies behind the next rock -- one of the keys, another passage, or just a dead-end. While exploring the labyrinth, your child will encounter boulders containing multiplication problems. When prompted with a multiplication question, your child simply types in their answer and presses the Enter key. If the answer is correct, the rock will dissappear and they can proceed to the new area. If the answer is incorrect, they can try again with the new multiplication equation that is presented. There are eight labyrinths in the Maze Mountain that get progressively harder. Each maze builds on the multiplication tables presented in the previous mazes. For instance, the first labyrinth, Ten-Finger-Maze, only contains multiplication tables for the numbers 1 and 10. While the second labyrinth, Two Handed Maze, adds two more tables, 2 and 5, to the list. Other mazes include The Fork of Triton, The Spider and the Fly, Seven Cats, Madman Maze, A Dozen Accidents, and The Last Labyrinth. After a few minutes of exploring, the kids won't even realize that they're actually learning as well. |
