This strategic game involves two or three players competing to create an unbroken path of counters from the Earth to the Moon. By solving multiplication problems to claim hexagons on the board, players practice rapid mental math and strategic blocking techniques. The document provides detailed instructions on gameplay, including turn-based rules, verification methods, and winning conditions, alongside variations such as penalty rules for incorrect answers. It serves as a practical tool for teachers and parents to foster mathematical fluency and critical thinking in a fun, interactive setting. The resource emphasizes both individual calculation accuracy and competitive strategy, making it a valuable addition to classroom learning or home study sessions for arithmetic reinforcement.",{"@graph":14,"@context":72},[15,34,55],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/","Exam",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/race-to-the-moon-multiplication-to-12x12-educational-game/635998/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/race-to-the-moon-multiplication-to-12x12-educational-game/635998.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Dipper","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-30","2026-10-22",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":33},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",{"@type":56,"mainEntity":57},"FAQPage",[58,64,68],{"name":59,"@type":60,"acceptedAnswer":61},"What is the goal of the Race to the Moon game?","Question",{"text":62,"@type":63},"The goal is to be the first player to create an unbroken path of counters from the Earth to the Moon on the game board.","Answer",{"name":65,"@type":60,"acceptedAnswer":66},"How do players claim a space on the game board?",{"text":67,"@type":63},"A player chooses a multiplication problem on an empty hexagon, calculates the answer, and states it aloud.

As well as developing quick recall of number facts, this game also involves strategy in blocking your partner whilst making your path.  \nAge Range 4th grade+ Number of players: 2 or 3  \nLearning: Multiply with numbers to 12x12, strategy You will need  \n- Each player will need 15-20 counters of their own color.  \nInstructions  \n• Choose a multiplication you want to work out on one of the uncovered hexagons on the game board.  \n• Work out the answer in your head. Use a multiplication square (see appendix 3) to help you if you wish.  \n• Say the calculation and the answer.  \n• Your partner will check in their head (or using the multiplication strips) .  \n• If you are right, you place a counter on the hexagon. Then it is your partner’s turn. If you are wrong, you don’t get to place a counter.  \n• The winner is the first person to complete an unbroken path of counters from the Earth to the Moon (path can go across, down, diagonally) . See below.  \nVariations  \n• If you get an answer wrong, your partner can remove one of your counters from the board.  \nExamples of winning paths.  \nMULTIPLICATION TO 12x12  \nWho will be first to get from Earth to the Moon?  \n| 8x4 11x6\u003Cbr>3x6 3x9\u003Cbr>5x11 5x7\u003Cbr>4x4 7x3\u003Cbr>3x12 2x11\u003Cbr>6x6 7x10\u003Cbr>4x11 10x10 | 3x4 3x3\u003Cbr>7x7 6x4\u003Cbr>12x4 11x8\u003Cbr>7x6 5x10\u003Cbr>11x9 9x6\u003Cbr>6x5 2x12\u003Cbr>8x5 10x7 | 7x12 7x8\u003Cbr>8x8 9x7\u003Cbr>4x12 7x11\u003Cbr>9x9 5x12\u003Cbr>12x7 6x12\u003Cbr>9x8 7x9\u003Cbr>12x5 9x9 | 11x9 9x11\u003Cbr>8x12 7x7\u003Cbr>11x11 9x6\u003Cbr>12x9 6x7\u003Cbr>8x12 12x10\u003Cbr>9x9 7x8\u003Cbr>6x7 9x7 |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |","cbCaiirytyZsqmxZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiirytyZsqmxZ","pdf",255477,"English","# Race to the Moon: Game Overview\n## Gameplay Instructions\n## Winning Conditions and Variations","[{\"question\":\"What is the goal of the Race to the Moon game?\",\"answer\":\"The goal is to be the first player to create an unbroken path of counters from the Earth to the Moon on the game board.\"},{\"question\":\"How do players claim a space on the game board?\",\"answer\":\"A player chooses a multiplication problem on an empty hexagon, calculates the answer, and states it aloud.
