Math Blazer
An educational “action” game that can teach math to children from grades 1
through 6. Students can practice addition, subtraction, multiplication, and
division. Another level, for fractions/percents/decimals contains 5 sub-levels
teaching reduction of common fractions, renaming improper fractions, renaming
common fractions to decimals, renaming decimals as percents, and renaming
percents as fractions. Math problems can be displayed in either horizontal or
vertical display, depending on preference.
Gameplay takes place on a screen with multiple answers to a problem ranged
across the top of the screen, and a series of cannons below. You must move
your character to the cannon aimed at the correct answer. There are 2 timers
going- a seal bouncing a ball represents the time available to answer a given
problem; a balloon decending towards a needle represents time left for the
overall game. The speed can be adjusted for players’ skill levels.
Finally, an editor is included for parents/teachers to create their own
lessons featuring particular problems.
