This fun math game for ages 4-15 covers geometry, shape, measurement, algebra and data strands. A board game format is used to present 3200 questions across 14 categories in 11 graded levels. Varied question styles, with many interactive problem-solving questions, suit different learners. A medieval game scenario requires players to collect as much strength as they can to win the right to fight a dragon that is terrorizing the village. Players can choose from 4 different boards within the game environment – Castle, Village, Forest or Tournament. Players collect strength by answering math questions and by using strategic opportunities offered within the game, either by chance or by purchasing and using various Gadgets. Up to four players can participate, and every math category and level can be individually enabled or disabled, so math content is fully customizable for every player. This feature, combined with dice roll and game strategy, means that any player at any level (not necessarily the best mathematician) can win the game. The length of the game can be fixed, and games saved from session to session. Math content has been compiled after extensive research across many curriculum frameworks worldwide, and different versions are specifically tailored to different countries and systems (e.g. metric or Imperial measurement units, currency). All the Numbers Up! games are ideal for both classroom and family use: perfect for small math groups in a class setting, or for use by individual students needing either remediation or extension; and perfect for a family where siblings, parents and grandparents can play simultaneously. The higher levels of the game offer mental math problems challenging enough even for advanced mathematicians. This is a well-researched, high-quality kid-friendly math product offering great value for money.
