Task

To complete your secret mission assignment, you will need to work through all of the tasks in the order that they are given. Multiplication is the name of the game, and it's up to you to help Agent Perry. 

Things to Keep in Mind:

Mission 4: After you have rejoined Agent P on Earth,  you will use your multiplication skills to successfully complete at least one game of math-o. Click on the aplus math web site. Complete the math-o game by clicking on the square that is the solution to the problem below.  To play math-o, you will first select "multiplication" and set the level to challenge yourself (I suggest at least "medium"). The object of the game is to click on the answer to each multiplication equation as they appear until you fill up a column or a row (just like regular bingo). You may return to the web quest page once you have gotten math-o.
