Multiply Mountain Times Tables

3 x 4 and 4 x 3: the same amount, turned on its side. Summit, a mountain goat kid, climbs a snowy Cascade volcano one times table at a time, and your child climbs alongside, earning Summit new climbing gear at every camp, from boots to the summit flag.

Multiply Mountain teaches children aged 7 to 10 every multiplication and division fact up to 12 x 12, in the order schools teach them, starting with what multiplying means. Your child makes equal groups by dragging boots, berries and eggs into baskets, hops up a trail of numbered stones to skip-count, and builds rows and columns of flowers and snow blocks. Only then does the fact appear on its own, answered on a big friendly number pad. Division begins as sharing snacks fairly among friends and ends with the fact family triangle: three numbers, four facts. Every camp closes with a picture book of word problems, read aloud.

STRATEGIES, NOT JUST DRILLS
- Doubles for the twos, double-doubles for the fours, double three times for the eights
- Count by fives on your fingers; the nines and their digit patterns
- Turn-arounds: know 7 x 2, and you already know 2 x 7
- Break a big array into two easy ones
- Every stop opens with its one trick, told in a sentence

THREE STEPS FOR EVERY FACT
- Guided: worked through with hops, groups or sharing
- Built: the picture stays on the table and the answer is a number tile
- Alone: the number pad, with a Help button that brings the picture back
- No countdown clocks and no timed tests, anywhere

EIGHT CAMPS, 86 STOPS
- Camp 1: equal groups, the twos and the tens
- Camp 2: the fives, times one and times zero
- Camp 3: the threes and fours
- Camp 4: the sixes and sevens
- Camp 5: the eights and nines
- Camp 6: the elevens, twelves and square numbers
- Camp 7: dividing and fact families
- Camp 8: missing numbers and every fact mixed

MY MOUNTAIN CHART
- The whole 12 x 12 chart, lighting up one square at a time as each fact is known by heart, with a gold corner when its division fact is known too
- Shaky facts come back more often; a Daily Climb and the Practice button build lessons from exactly what is needed
- A missed fact is shown and said, then returns later
- An optional speed climb with no clock, just a personal best
- Streaks, stars, stickers, medals, badges and a trophy shelf
- A girl or boy climber in five skin tones, in hiking gear of your child's favorite color, with a matching narrator voice, for up to three players

FOR PARENTS
- A harder multiplication question guards the parent area, which shows every table and fact color-coded by how well it is known, with sound, music and voice switches and a reset for each player
- No ads, no accounts, no sign-in, no chat, no links and no data collected. Works offline.
