Teachley Mt. Multiplis vs Bonaventura Cavalieri Usage & Stats
Winner of Editor's Choice Award - Children's Technology Review and Parent's Choice Award!
What are people saying?
“Mt. Multiplis is not just focused on getting the answer, but also understanding the process of multiplication and the strategies that kids need to develop. I love how this app supports my students’ thinking in a way no other app does.” - Alana S., K-5 Special Education Teacher
“I really like how Mt. Multiplis combines the area model and the number line. It’s helped my students demonstrate their understanding across representations.” - Yvette B., 3rd grade teacher
About the game:
Linka gets caught in a terrible storm while flying home after a successful treasure hunt. She escapes but her plane isn’t as lucky. Help Linka make her way through Mt. Multiplis by building bridges, unlocking treasure, and earning gems. Rebuild Linka’s plane by collecting the pieces from the greedy Crags who live on the island.
Developed by teachers and experts in children’s cognition and learning, Mt. Multiplis is an engaging game that teaches multiplication through the commutative and distributive properties. While most multiplication apps focus on drill with digital worksheets and flashcards, Mt. Multiplis scaffolds learning to promote conceptual understanding, efficiency with multiplication strategies, and fact fluency.
The Common Core State Standards expect third graders to use the distributive property when multiplying (CCSM.3.OA.B.5): “Knowing that 8 × 5 = 40 and 8 × 2 = 16, one can find 8 × 7 as 8 × (5 + 2) = (8 × 5) + (8 × 2) = 40 + 16 = 56.” Mt. Multiplis is designed to make this complex content more approachable and fun for kids. Students can think strategically, seeing how 7 x 8 is the same as 5 groups of 8 plus 2 more groups of 8.
Supports Response to Intervention programs:
Mt. Multiplis is a great tool for classroom teachers looking to differentiate instruction for students. The app is also great for parents who want to support their children’s learning.
Recommended Grades: 3rd-5th (6th-8th intervention)
Meets Common Core Math Standards:
-3.OA.A.1 -3.OA.A.3 -3.OA.A.7 -3.OA.B.5

Bonaventura Cavalieri was born in Milan, Italy. In 1598, when Cavalieri was born, Italy was known as the Papal States. At the time that Cavalieri was born Galileo was 34 years old. Later in Cavalieri's life he would be introduced to Galileo. Galileo encouraged Cavalieri's work on his new methods and many of the ideas were insightful.
There are four possible ways for a plane to intersect a cone. Each of these ways produce a conic section. Bonaventura Cavalieri studied the mathematics of the curves that are produced by conic sections. Cavalieri explained in his writings the mathematics related to conic sections and how these mathematical formulas can be applied to the science of optics.
Use this beautifully illustrated interactive learning system to study the life and accomplishments of Bonaventura Cavalieri. Today Cavalieri is recognized as a mathematician who made significant breakthroughs and contributed to the later development of the calculus.
Cavalieri's most important work, Geometria, discusses a point as having no dimensions, a line as being made up of a infinite series of points, a plane an infinite number of lines and a solid as an infinite number of planes.
Using this app students learn about his amazing life. It includes introductory information about mathematics. We hope that this app will inspire students to pursue careers in math. Students will enjoy using this graphically illustrated, interactive learning tool. The timeline feature presents key events in the life of Cavalieri. Tapping on timeline points will bring up descriptions of historically significant events in the history of mathematics and the role that Cavalieri played. A quiz function helps students demonstrate their comprehension of the reading material. Key concepts of both math and science are shown in colorful illustrations. We hope this app will inspire students to study math. The app shows that Bonaventura Cavalieri certainly deserves the place he has earned in the history of mathematics.
