河狸技師阿木要修好一台台機器人,需要的螺絲數是一道直式乘法,例如 248 × 36。孩子在「直式乘法機」的齒輪格子裡填數字:先算 248 × 6 填第一列,再算 248 × 3,把第二列的托盤往左拖一格(因為其實是乘 30,後面補 0),最後把兩列加起來。每填好一列,機器人就裝回一個部位。答錯時會指出是哪一格,並寫出那一格的算法和進位。
適合年級:四年級(約 9~10 歲)。對應 108 課綱(十二年國教)數學單元:四年級「多位數的乘法和除法直式」(三位數乘以二位數)。各版本教科書的單元順序不同,完整對照請看國小數學課綱對照表。需要先熟悉九九乘法,所以要先玩過一款乘法表遊戲才會開放。免費、無廣告、不用註冊,題目有注音,也會念出算式。
陪玩小提醒:直式乘法最常錯在第二列沒有往左移一格,和忘了加上進位。可以問孩子「乘十位的 3,其實是乘多少?」,算完再用估算(250 × 40)檢查答案合不合理。
Moo the beaver mechanic needs a number of screws for each robot, and the number is a long multiplication such as 248 × 36. Children fill the gear cells of the multiplying machine: first 248 × 6 in row 1, then 248 × 3 on a tray they drag one column left (it is really × 30, so a 0 fills the ones), then add the two rows. Each finished row puts a part back on the robot, and a mistake points to the cell with its working and carry.
