Dive into a deep-sea adventure where treasure awaits! In this underwater-themed digital game, students answer division questions to collect treasure from the ocean floor. Each piece of treasure is worth a different number of points—so every correct answer could change the leaderboard!

In this version, students practise dividing by 8 while strengthening their understanding of the inverse relationship between division and multiplication. With each question, they’ll develop confidence, fluency, and a better grasp of how division facts fit into the broader number system.

Let’s Sail – Divide by 8 is perfect for reinforcing division facts during maths rotations, targeted group work, or as a fun fluency task. Students can play individually using the QR code, or work in teams during class game time to compete for the highest point total.
