How to play
Answer times-table questions to build your ranch hand, and use the Count-Off to practise skip counting.
The goal
Your character is made of ten pieces. Every correct answer adds one. Get all ten and the whole figure is finished.
A turn, step by step
A question is waiting when you open the page. Four answers, tap one.
Right answer: a piece appears. Wrong answer: you lose a piece.
Either way you get a short explanation of how to work it out.
Press Next question to carry on.
Setting up
Who are you building — Cowboy, Cowgirl or Horse. Switching keeps your progress.
Which times tables — tap the numbers 1 to 10 to choose what gets drilled. At least one stays on.
What kind of question — straight multiplication, a missing factor (7 × ? = 42), division, or finding a factor of a number. Mix and match.
The Count-Off
The panel at the bottom counts out loud with you — great for warming up before questions.
Pick a number to count by, 2 through 10. It counts ten times over, so by 2 ends at 20 and by 9 ends at 90.
Every round opens with a 3 · 2 · 1 · GO! countdown.
The number lights up green, a horse gallops along the track, and the matching fact shows underneath, so 18 reads 3 × 6 = 18.
When it reaches the top — repeat the same number, roll on to the next one, or stop and let you pick. In "let me pick" mode the number buttons glow until you choose.
Speed runs from about 2.6 seconds per number down to half a second, and you can change it while it is running.
Sound can be switched off with the button next to Start.
Saving
Every setting and your progress are remembered on this device. Reset everything at the bottom of the setup box starts fresh — it asks for a second tap first.
