✨ Key Features
🧮 Dynamic Equation Display
Every click or audio sync updates a large, bold equation:n × 10 = result
, color-coded by multiplier and group size.
🍎 Emoji Grouping with Animations
Each multiple is represented by a group of 10 fruit emojis (🍎🍌🍇 etc.) packed neatly into bordered clusters that "grow in" with animation — making the concept of “10 items per group” vivid and intuitive.
🎵 Auto-Synced Musical Mode
When the learner clicks Play Song, the simulation:
-
Plays a catchy Multiples of 10 Song generated with AI tools (Riffusion, Suno),
-
Automatically progresses at synced intervals using a predefined list of timestamps,
-
Visually adds and updates groups at the correct beat.
📱 Responsive Design
Optimized for all screen sizes — from full-screen desktops to mobile phones — using flexbox and dynamic CSS.
🕒 Built-in Timer Display
A real-time counter displays elapsed seconds as the song plays, reinforcing pacing and rhythm.
🧠 How It Supports Learning
1. Bridges Abstract and Concrete
The simulation links the conceptual (10 groups, repeated addition) with the visual and auditory — allowing learners to “see” and “hear” what it means to multiply.
2. Multisensory = More Effective
By combining:
-
Visual learning (animated emoji groups),
-
Auditory learning (music synced to logic), and
-
Kinesthetic interaction (clicking Next/Reset),
this tool aligns with research that shows multisensory learning strengthens retention and understanding.
3. Accessible and Self-Directed
-
Teachers can use it to guide a lesson.
-
Students can explore it independently and build fluency with 10s at their own pace.
