===Playing Demolition Division===
When the game begins, four green tanks are displayed along the left edge of the screen. Each tank has a different division problem on its side. Four blue guns, each behind a red barricade, are displayed along the right edge of of the screen. As a tank advances toward a gun, it makes a low sound, and fires a shot that crumbles part of that gun's barricade.
The object of Demolition Division is to "equalize" the attacking tanks before they reach the guns and destroy them. To do this, your child places the answer to a tank's division problem beside the gun opposing that tank and fires the gun. The gun fires a small blue shell that arcs toward the tank. When the answer beside the gun is correct, the shell equalizes the tank, and a hit is scored.
====When Your Child Misses a Problem====
When the number displayed beside a gun is not the correct answer to atank's problem, the gun shell explodes without hitting the tank, and amiss is scored. If a tank is not destroyed before it reaches a gun, the tankblasts the gun into a pile of blue rubble.
After a gun is destroyed, the screen turns black for a few seconds. Then the display returns, and four tanks with new and different division problems appear along the left edge of the screen. Simultaneously, four guns with intact barricades appear on the right edge of the screen, and the game continues. If three guns are destroyed before the game's time limit expires, the game is over.
When the Record Your Score screen appears, press any key to begin playing again or press '''AID''' and choose any of the options available with Demolition Division. For example, you might choose to increase the speed at which the game is run or lengthen the time of play.
