Velocity Vault

Mental Math SpeedFactor PairsGrades 3–6Keyboard

What students practice

Students practice finding factor pairs, such as 4 times 9 or 6 times 6 both making 36, across times tables from 2 through 12.

How to play

Players use the arrow keys to roll two number wheels to a pair of numbers that multiply to the code shown on a vault door, then press Enter to open it before a laser curtain closes it, earning a bonus for a fast answer. A wrong pair causes the game to show every factor pair that works, and that code returns later; three sealed vaults end the mission.

Teacher Setup

Teacher Setup lets a teacher choose which times tables generate the codes, the numbers available on each wheel, and whether 1 times the code is allowed, plus speed and whether the answer is shown after a miss; the end screen includes a printable student report listing the tables practiced.
