The Great American Multiplication Challege

Great American Multiplication Challenge

Help your county and state rise to the top of the leaderboards in the Great American Multiplication Challenge. First choose your state and county (this may happen automatically or you may have to allow the program to obtain your location). Then, choose the multiplication tables to practice. Answer as many multiplication facts as you can in two minutes. When you are finished, click on “view statistics” and see how your performance helps your state and district. Try to help your school or district obtain 1,000,000 correct multiplication problems and see where your state and district rank nationally in basic multiplication (according to this game).
