===Goals===

*At least 5 different levels, with varying difficulty. Each level will utilize a different gameplay genre, such as platformer, puzzle, etc.

*Picture-based storyline to tie levels together without relying on large amounts of text

Line 16:

*Integrate at least 10 different Mass 4th grade standards into the gameplay.

==Tentative Milestones==

===Levels===

The game includes a variety of levels of different sizes, each covering different math standards.

=====Bridge Building Level=====

*4.N.18 - Use concrete objects and visual models to add and subtract common fractions.

The player is tasked with building a bridge. Presented with pieces of wood of various sizes, the user must use the exact amount to complete the bridge.

=====Map Level=====

A map of the area is shown and the player must identify the coordinates where the tower is located.

=====Tower Gate Level=====

*4.N.1 - Exhibit an understanding of the base ten number system by reading, modeling, writing, and interpreting whole numbers to at least 100,000; demonstrating an understanding of the values of the digits; and comparing and ordering the numbers.

*4.N.14 - Demonstrate in the classroom an understanding of and the ability to use the conventional algorithms for addition and subtraction (up to five-digit numbers), and multiplication (up to three digits by two digits).

*4.P.1 - Create, describe, extend, and explain symbolic (geometric) and numeric patterns, including multiplication patterns like 3, 30, 300, 3000, ….

=====Tower Level=====

*4.N.2 - Represent, order, and compare large numbers (to at least 100,000) using various forms, including expanded notation, e.g., 853 = 8 x 100 + 5 x 10 + 3.

*4.N.11 - Know multiplication facts through 12 x 12 and related division facts. Use these facts to solve related multiplication problems and compute related problems, e.g., 3 x 5 is related to 30 x 50, 300 x 5, and 30 x 500.

*4.N.13 - Divide up to a three-digit whole number with a single-digit divisor (with or without remainders) accurately and efficiently. Interpret any remainders.

=====Watch Level=====

*4.M.3 - Identify time to the minute on analog and digital clocks using a.m. and p.m. Compute elapsed time using a clock (e.g., hours and minutes since…) and using a calendar (e.g., days since…).

The player is presented with two different watches (one being broken and one representing the current time), and they must calculate the amount of time that has elapsed since the watch broke.
