Tasks /multiplication and division of a multi-digit number by a single-digit number/ and their answers are written on sheets of different colors. Each task and its answer are one color. They are placed on the workspace randomly.

Start of the game:

It is explained to the child that Roby needs to solve the tasks, but he cannot do it alone. Roby needs his/her help. With which task it will start and with which it will end, he/she chooses  and with the help of ROBY they start the game.

1. Core phase of the Game

It is explained to the child that he will help Robbie when he solves all the problems correctly.

1. The robot turns on and moves along the board to the field with the first task.                                                                                                             
2. The student takes the sheet with the task, writes it in the notebook and solves it.                                                                                                     
3. Finds the other sheet of the same color on the playing field that contains the answer to the task. Moves Robbie to him. With a correct answer, the robot heads to the prize box. The child takes one of the reward cards. If a mistake is made, the teacher helps with guiding questions to the correct solution.
4. Actions are repeated until all tasks are solved.                                                                                                                                                                   
5. The game ends when all tasks are correctly solved and the child has collected all the cards “Well done, Lover!”.
