Mission: Multiplication a new take on flashcards! Mission: Multiplication was my sophmore-year entry into the Congressional House App Challenge in 2014. It won second place in California District 28, which had one of the highest number of participants of the entire App Challenge. Mission: Multiplication takes the simple concept of multiplication flashcards and turns it into a game. Thus allowing for the practice of multiplication for younger children, without the boredom that inevitably results from such a monotonous, yet important topic. The premise of the game is that you are a rocket, flying through space and destroying asteroids. Along the way, you come across different multiplication equations, as well as rings with different possible answers. Your score is a combination of both the number of asteroids you destroy, as well as the number of questions you answer correctly.
