The second number will be a random number from 1 to 9. Select the correct answer by clicking on the bottom numbers again. (Green - correct, Purple - incorrect). Score is determined by the sum of the digits that are correct.

If your answers are incorrect the box will turn red when you click on check. You can change your answer until it is correct. When both answers are correct you go to the second part. This gave plays like bingo. Your possible choices come from the four boxes of the previous screen, and show up as light blue. Click on one of the light blue boxes in the bingo grid. If you have no choices, you can click on any box to go back. Good luck.

Level 2 will use multiples of a selected factor to 15. The game is played by using the numbers on the right side of the screen (1 through 15), and noting the labels "From" and "To" meaning where to jump from and where ot jump to. There is an aid at the bottom of the screen to show all possible moves. Game will open in a new window. Good Luck.
• Battleship. Still in process, but there is enough of it there to work. Click on a number at the top, and a number along the side. This will give a set of coordinates. Put the multiplication answer in the box above the fire button and click fire. You will be told if the answer is correct or incorrect, and also if you have hit a battleship or not.
