What Is It?
A live, in-person math fact competition
Students register with a code and a PIN. A commissioner runs rounds from a mobile device. After each round, the bottom performers are eliminated. The last student standing is the champion.
How It Works
Four steps. Two minutes to set up.
Create an event
Name it, set the timer, choose a table or full deck. Done in 30 seconds.
Students register
Share the code. Students sign in on any device with a 4-digit PIN.
Run the rounds
You control the pace from your phone. A projected board shows scores and the cut line in real time.
Crown a champion
The last student standing wins. Confetti included.
Why Teachers Love It
Zero prep. Maximum engagement.
No Prep Required
Create an event from your phone in under 2 minutes. No printouts, no question cards, no setup.
Voice-Powered
Students say the answer out loud. Speech recognition scores every response automatically — no judges needed.
Laptop with a Keyboard
A laptop or Chromebook with a physical keyboard works best — students tap the spacebar to advance cards. Touchscreens can miss taps from dry fingers. No app download needed — just a browser.
Bigger Than One Classroom
Bring the Bee to Your Whole School
The Multiplication Bee scales to any size. A single class. An entire grade level. A school-wide assembly. A family math night. A STEM showcase. If there's a room full of people and multiplication facts to test, a Bee fits.
Grade-Level Events
Run parallel Bees by classroom, then bring the class champions together for a grade-level championship round.
Math Night & STEM Night
The Bee is a natural anchor event for family math nights. Students compete in front of parents — a crowd makes the stakes real.
School Championships
Run classroom Bees throughout the semester. Bring the winners together. Crown a school champion. Hand out certificates. Make it a tradition.
