  • The Mission: 

    The Grand Parade is about to begin, but the soldiers are disorganized! You are the Band Leader. Your mission is to arrange a specific number of soldiers into perfectly rectangular formations. To clear the level, you cannot just find one arrangement; you must discover every possible way to organize that number (e.g., for 12 soldiers: 1x12, 2x6, and 3x4).


  • Math Skills:

    • Factors & Multiples: Identifying all pairs of numbers that multiply to reach a target.

    • Arrays: Visualizing multiplication as rows and columns.

    • Area: Understanding that rectangles with different shapes can have the same total area.


  • How to Play:

    1. Check the Number: Look at the top of the screen to see the Target Number of soldiers (e.g., "12 Soldiers").

    2. Drag the Handle: Click and hold the circular handle on the grass field.

    3. Shape the Array: Pull the handle right and down to change the number of Rows and Columns. Watch the counter to see the total (e.g., 2×6=12).

    4. Form the Troop: When the number matches the target, release the mouse or click the button to lock in that formation.

    5. Find All Pairs: Don't stop at one! You must find all remaining factor pairs to complete the level.

    步操樂隊隊形:因子大師


  • 任務簡介: 

    大巡遊即將開始,但士兵們亂成一團!你是 樂隊指揮。你的任務是將特定數量的士兵排列成完美的 矩形隊形。要通過關卡,你不能只找出一個排法,你必須找出該數字 所有可能的排列方式(例如 12 名士兵:可以是 1x12、2x6 或 3x4)。


  • 數學技能:

    • 因子 (Factors) 與倍數: 找出所有相乘等於目標數的數字組合。

    • 陣列 (Arrays): 將乘法視覺化為「行」與「列」的組合。

    • 面積: 理解不同形狀的矩形可以擁有相同的 總面積


  • 玩法說明:

    1. 查看人數: 看螢幕上方顯示的 目標士兵數量(例如:「12 Soldiers」)。

    2. 拖動手柄: 點擊並按住草地上的圓形 控制手柄

    3. 調整隊形: 向右或向下拖動以改變 行 (Rows) 和 列 (Columns) 的數量。留意計數器顯示的總數(例如:2×6=12)。

    4. 組成隊伍: 當數量符合目標時,鬆開滑鼠或點擊按鈕來確認該隊形。

    5. 找出所有組合: 不要停下來!你必須找出 所有剩餘的因子組合 才能完成關卡。
