A Fast-Paced, High-Energy Multiplication Game for Your Classroom!

If you’re looking for a fun, competitive, and highly engaging way to help your students master their multiplication facts, Times Table Team Battle is the perfect classroom activity! This interactive game turns multiplication practice into a lively team challenge that gets every student excited about math.

Teachers can fully customize the activity—choose the team names, select the difficulty level, set the timer, and even enable penalty points. Whether you want a quick warm-up or a full class tournament, this game fits easily into any lesson.

🎮 How the Game Works

Times Table Team Battle is designed for two teams:

• 🔴 Red Team
• 🔵 Blue Team

Each team receives its own multiplication questions. Students type their answers using a keypad or keyboard, racing to earn as many points as possible before time runs out.

✔️ Students earn:

• +1 point for each correct answer

❌ Optional twist:

• Penalty Mode (if enabled): Every incorrect answer gives +1 point to the opposing team, making accuracy just as important as speed!

The game ends when the timer reaches zero—and a colorful confetti celebration highlights the winning team!

🛠️ Teacher Setup (Fully Customizable!)

Before starting, you can adjust:

• 🏷 Challenge Title
