Hooda Math's Multiplication Game is interesting, but hard to explain!  You might want to just go on and try it out.  Basically, you need to earn 4 squares in a row (like tic tac toe) on the board to win.  The way you earn a square is to choose two multiples of that number from the number line below.  The trick is, you can only move your pointer to one multiple at a time.  The computer gets to move one of them in its turn too. 

For example, if the computer goes first, it might choose 1.  If you want to earn the 5 square on the board, move the other pointer over to the 5, because 5x1=5.  The computer will then move one of the arrows to a new number.  If they leave a pointer on 5 and move the other to 2, they earn the 10, because 2x5=10.

We're running out of days, so I'm giving you a bonus game today!  It's another from Hooda Math, and it's another Pac Man knock off.  It give you a number, and you need to eat all that number's factors.  This was one of my favorites!

A few years ago I used to play Sudoku a lot!  It's fun because it starts out seeming impossible, but the more numbers you fill in, the easier it gets.  For me, it's exciting to feel more and more like, "I've got this!  No problem!" 

To play Sudoku, you need to use the digits 1 to 9.  Make a row of those digits, using each digit once.  If you look at the top row, you'll see that the number 1 is missing, and so is the number 3.  You also need each column to have the digits 1 to 9 only ones.  If you put the 1 in the third box of the top row, it's wrong, because there's already a 1 in that column.  And, if you look closely, there are 3 by 3 medium grids inside the big grid (the lines are bolder), and you need to have each digit 1 to 9 in there as well.

The regular version of Sudoku is here but if you want an easier version, there's one here. 

I like this game so much that I took down one of my blog drafts so that I could fit it into the 12 days! 

In Build a Snowman, you need to read a word problem, and figure out if it is solved by adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing.  If you select the right answer, the computer solves the problem and a part is added to the snowman.  That's right; you don't need to solve it, you just need to know what operation is needed to solve it!  And of course if you build the whole snowman he dances for you.

If you like timed games, The Timernator lets you practice your times tables.  Type your answer to the question and click the ??? to see if you're right.  Try to get as many right as you can before the minute is up, and then play again to try to beat your best score.

Have you ever played Zuma?  The one where you're a stone frog, colored balls roll around you on a track and you have to shoot the same colors at them?  Well in X Factor, it's the same type of game play, but the colored balls have numbers on them.  You have to shoot the balls that have factors of the number on your shooter. 

For example, your level might require all factors of 12.  The ball in your shooter might have a 3 in it.  You need to shoot a ball on the track that has a 4, because 3x4=12.  Your next ball in your shooter might have a 2, so look for a 6 to shoot at because 2x6=12.

Don't worry if you make a mistake; you don't lose a life.  And if you have a 2 in your shooter but can't find a 6, you can shoot the ball off into the distance without penalty.  You'll notice that the colors vanish when they line up a certain way, so your goal is to clear all the balls before they get to the end.

Today's game is not a math game!  Geography Venture Capital is about state capitals.  You can play:

Choose It, in which you see a state and have multiple choices to pick from to match the capital.

In Spell It, you have to type the capital of the state shown.

In Locate It, you have to click the spot on the state where the capital city is.

If you like driving games, Crazy Taxi is a fun game for practicing your multiples.  At the starting block you'll be given a multiple.  Hit as many cars as you can that have that multiple.  Swerve around or jump over cars that have numbers that aren't multiples of that number.  Use space to jump!

For example, if your multiple is 5, and ahead there are 3 cars, one with 12, one with 15, and one with 17, hit the car with the 15.

Math Man is played a lot like, you guessed it, Pac Man!

Eating the little yellow dots increases your score.  But there are ghosts that will take away one of your lives if they touch you. 

To become "invincible" to one ghost, eat a question mark.  Then, at the bottom of the screen, it will give you a math problem, like 5x5.  You can eat the ghost with the 25 on it. 

Once you've eaten all the ghosts, the level is cleared.

Hint:  Eat all but one ghost, then eat all the yellow dots.  That way you can increase your score with fewer ghosts to run away from!

This game, Fraction Splat, is a simple "point and click."  Think of Fruit Ninja: you want to get the fruit, but avoid the bombs.  In this game you click on certain types of fractions, and avoid others.

In level 1, click on the mixed numbers.  They look like this:  4 5/6.  See how there's a "big" whole number on the left of a fraction?

In level 2, click on the improper fractions that are greater or equal to a whole.  For example, 9/8 is improper because the top number is bigger than the bottom.  2/2 is improper because the numbers are equal, so they equal 1 whole. 

Hint:  As the game gets harder, I found it helpful to focus on one color at a time.  Also, don't forget to click "finished" at the end.

In this game, Lemonade, you and a friend try to make as much money as you can by selling lemonade. 

Make your lemonade tastier by experimenting with the recipe, (add sugar, lemons, and ice) and more people will buy it.  Don't charge too much money, or people won't buy it.  Don't charge too little or you won't make as much money.  Raise the price on a hot day, because more people will want to have a cold drink then.  Lower the price on a cold or rainy day, because fewer people want to have a cold drink when it's cold out.

Hint:  Your ice will melt at the end of each day, so don't buy too much of it!
