Students create mathematical expressions by drawing paths across a grid to match target numbers before time runs out. Learners choose an operation, addition, subtraction, or multiplication, set a difficulty level, and drag through adjacent number and operator tiles to build an expression equal to one of the five target numbers shown. This activity supports Florida BEST, Common Core, and TEKS multiplication and operations standards.
Skills: mental math, expression building, strategic planning, speed and accuracy. Grades 3-6.
