Teaching Multiplication -
02-14-2009, 06:00 PM
I have two young girls and this is a simple game I designed to help teach them multiplication. It also gives me practice within Alice. I'm using Alice to familiarise myself with programming concepts
You choose the times tables you want. We calll them Times tables I think Americans have a different name. We're talking 2*2=4 3*2=6. All that stuff
The computer asks questions
If you get the answer right your car speeds up
I would like to work on the programme so the race track was circular and
so both cars were always moving at a minimum speed at all times
but the programming task is currently beyond me
I have a couple of other ideas so may return to this one
Thanks Dr Jim and Dick Baldwin for the advice and tutorials
