A game idea!

Yesterday, while tidying up the kitchen I found the cards of the game that me and my boys had designed. I started thinking about it and my teaching brain took over! As a teacher I knew that learning and memorizing the multiplication tables was often a difficult and boring task for the children. I remember always looking for new ways to make practicing the multiplication tables fun and exciting. This was a game that I could easily include in my math activities at school. It could be good for grades three and up, even for advanced students at lower grades that need to be challenged. It could be a single player game (see how many answer cards you can get) or a multiplayer game. It could be made easy or difficult based on the answers that you put down. Students can even work/play with one or two tables at a time.
I realized at that time, that this game was going to be my project for the next few months and I was very excited.

I had been designing educational ipad applications for few years now but the idea of making an actual physical card game was very appealing indeed.
