All Smart Starters gamesComplete multiplication and division fact families by finding the missing number. For ages 8 to 10.
Every activity is one step. Here is where this one fits.
Fact Family Triangle Vault puts two factors and their product in a row and takes one of the three away. Which operation the child needs depends entirely on which cell is missing: hide the product and they multiply, hide a factor and the only way in is division. Nothing in the game announces that, and it does not need to, because doing it twenty times makes the relationship unavoidable. That relationship is the thing worth building. Multiplication and division are taught in sequence, usually terms apart, and children reliably file them as separate subjects that happen to involve the same numbers — so a child who can answer six times seven without pausing will still reach for a written method, or for repeated subtraction, when asked what forty-two divided by seven is. They already know the answer. They do not yet know that they know it. A task where the required operation changes row by row is the fastest way to close that gap, and it pays off immediately in division, in simplifying fractions, and later in rearranging equations. The first level always hides the product, so a child meets the layout on familiar ground; from the second level any of the three cells can be missing. Every empty cell carries a clue naming what is being asked, with a fuller hint behind a button. Factors reach twelve at the top level. Grids are worked by tap or keyboard, cells are announced to screen readers, and a wrong digit flashes and can be replaced. Free, no sign-up, no advertising to children.
Chosen by the skills this activity practises.
A maths question is shown in large text at the centre of the play area. A timer bar begins counting down from 130 seconds.
Answer options are shown as large buttons. Tap and drag, or use the mouse on desktop. Any input method works — touch, mouse or keyboard.
Each consecutive correct answer increases your streak. A longer streak lights up the flame icon and adds a bonus multiplier to the XP you earn for the level.
Each level has 4 questions. Complete them to earn the full level reward (+10 XP, plus up to +10 XP for a perfect run). Progress is saved locally and shown on the Parent Dashboard.
Mapped to national curriculum frameworks so teachers and parents can match practice to school standards.
Everything you need to know before your child starts playing.
