These are the KS2 skills it practises. - Times tables to 12 × 12 - Division as the inverse of multiplication - Reading grid coordinates Real examples from the game: Row 7, column 8**56** Row 9, column 6**54** Row 6, product 48: which column?**8** Column 12, product 84: which row?**7** ## Levels and difficulty Sea 1, the Harbour, uses tables 2 to 9 and Sea 2 goes up to 12, each with eight seconds per shot. Sea 3 hides the column numbers, so children work out product ÷ row, and Sea 4 hides the rows. The boss is the Quizzler. Pip moves your child up when they are ready and eases off when they struggle. Each run is short and focused, so it fits before school or homework. ### Every level, in the free Pip app Battleships is part of Pip Pro in the app, with every level and saved progress.
