Reaction Rocket

What students practice

Students practice multiples and number facts for 2 through 12, deciding fast whether each number fits a launch rule such as multiples of 4, with a new rule drawn at the start of every stage.

How to play

A fuel pod rides a belt into a launch clamp; players press Space, or the LAUNCH button, to fire if the pod fits the current rule, or press HOLD to send a non-matching pod away early. Launching a wrong pod or missing a right one costs one of three shields, and a miss stops the belt to show the answer before that pod returns.

Teacher Setup

Teacher Setup lets a teacher choose All Rules, Grade 3-4 rules, or Grade 5-6 rules, and set which numbers are used for multiples and facts, from 2 and 3 up through 6, 7, 8, 9, and 12. A printable student report lists rules to practice.
