โจ Key Features
๐งฎ Dynamic Equation Display
Every click or audio sync updates a large, bold equation:n ร 10 = result
, color-coded by multiplier and group size.
๐ Emoji Grouping with Animations
Each multiple is represented by a group of 10 fruit emojis (๐๐๐ etc.) packed neatly into bordered clusters that "grow in" with animation โ making the concept of โ10 items per groupโ vivid and intuitive.
๐ต 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.
๐ฑ Responsive Design
Optimized for all screen sizes โ from full-screen desktops to mobile phones โ using flexbox and dynamic CSS.
๐ Built-in Timer Display
A real-time counter displays elapsed seconds as the song plays, reinforcing pacing and rhythm.
๐ง How It Supports Learning
1. Bridges Abstract and Concrete
The simulation links the conceptual (10 groups, repeated addition) with the visual and auditory โ allowing learners to โseeโ and โhearโ 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.
