Factors and "Wheel" Games Each Skill Set™ a player completes earns 100 plays in each of the "Wheel" games. Example: all 8 completed = 800 plays. Games track and display number of credits to play in lower right corner of screen. A "Review Game" feature allows students to go back and see where they may have made errors. Wheel games offer players the opportunity to earn thousands of stickers. If students are serious about competing to be a top player, they must take their time and make sure to score the maximum number of stickers (6 or 7) for each round of play. How it works: If a student completes all 8 Skill Sets, he/she will earn 800 credits per game. Scoring a maximum 6 stickers for each round of play, can earn 4,800 stickers for that game. Multiply that across the four wheel-type games, almost 20,000 stickers in these games alone! If students rush and earn only 3 stickers per round of play, they will only earn half the potential stickers, and find near the end of the season that they will have exhausted their ability to earn stickers.
The FACTORS Bonus Game becomes available to students who have completed the Multiply/Divide GYM, and is a great way for students to practice facts without memorization and boredom. Object of the game is to build FACTOR WHEELS, made by placing four cards together to create a circle of numbers that share a common factor. Each game begins with a pool of 24 cards. Students click cards and drag them onto the board to build wheels. After a minimum of 19 cards have been played, players can click a button to "set" the board and the score for the game will be totalled—the points earned for a completed wheel are equal to the common factor of the numbers in the wheel.

The Ten Wheels Bonus Game becomes available to students who have completed Game 1 of Skill Set® 1. Object of the game is to build wheels, using addition and subtraction, where the sum of each wheel is 10. Each game begins with a pool of 24 cards. As in the other wheel games, students click and drag cards onto board to build wheels. If you make a wheel that does not have a sum of 10, no points will be awarded for that wheel. Each correct wheel is worth 10 points. Scoring: |

The 24 Wheels Bonus Game becomes available to students who have completed Game 1 of Skill Set 4. Object of the game is to make WHEELS by placing four cards together to create a circle of four numbers that make the target number 24. Students can add, subtract, multiply and divide using all four numbers in the wheel, but can use each number only once. Students MUST solve each wheel using one of the available patterns given. (The "pattern" is the last step in the solution, such as 2 x 12.) Each game begins with a pool of 24 cards and nine possible solution patterns. Players click cards and drag them onto the board to build wheel/solution combinations. Players are only given credit for correct wheels
where the four numbers can be solved using the pattern placed in the
center of the wheel. |

The Fraction Wheels Bonus Game is designed to help students become more comfortable working with fractions and mixed numbers, and becomes available after players complete the Add/Subtract Fractions GYM. Students use addition and subtraction when combining four cards together to create a WHEEL whose sum must be a WHOLE NUMBER. Each game begins with a pool of 24 cards containing fractions or mixed numbers, students click and drag cards onto board to build wheels. If a wheel is built where the sum is NOT a whole number, no points will be awarded for that wheel. Each correct wheel is worth the value of the whole number you created. Wheels with a sum of zero earn no points, but creating a negative whole number is allowed (example: a wheel with a sum of –6 earns 6 points). 6-17 points = 1 sticker |
