100 Squares is based on a piece of Maths homework.

The idea behind the game is you choose a times table grid, e.g. 10x10, and then you see how quickly you can fill it out

The intention is that the game aids in the learning of mental times tables

The bulk of the site is simple HTML and css, with some JQuery for functionality

It's well worth a checking out and a share ;)

you can contact me at feedback [at] jamiefraser [dot] co [.] uk. thanks :)
hmm part of this got lost!

I'm aiming for this to be used as a study aid with possible classroom aspects, so always looking for feedback, especially from teachers / other educators :)

Re:Show HN: Zero – a mathematical puzzle game on Thursday July 16, 2015 @05:07PM (#9899881)
slightly addictive, but I found myself thinking the sum is the amount needed to get to 0, rather than the amount currently on. e.g. when it says 6, i look to get 6 rather than 4
Fixed, thanks for pointing it out :)
hey i was aiming towards the class room as well as a study aid
theres not much to it really, a jquery powered script onto a static html page, backed by a PHP api to load questions, coloured in by Materialize CSS to make it look nice. server site there's really nothing to it, just a linux, nginx, mysql php setup :)
thoughts / comments / improvement suggestions welcome

as well as topics and categories for questions
