Sum Strike: Math Soccer Game

Sum Strike is a soccer penalty shootout for kids, where the math is not a barrier in front of the ball — the math is the aim. The goal is split into five targets. Answer correctly and a target opens; get it wrong and it shuts. Then you shoot at what you have opened, and the keeper dives. There is no power meter and never will be: the sum decides where the ball can go. THIRTEEN TOPICS, EACH WITH ITS OWN LEVEL Number sense, the four operations, fractions, decimals, percentages, negative numbers, order of operations, equations, and two soccer topics (geometry and statistics). Every topic has its own Elo-style rating, so a child can sit at one grade in times tables and another in fractions at the same time. The ladder has ten steps, one school year each from kindergarten through 9th grade, built on the Danish national curriculum (Fælles Mål). Difficulty moves on four independent axes — grade level, answer choices, scaffolding and time pressure — never as a single difficulty number. Wrong options are real mistakes, not noise: a dropped carry, adding numerator and denominator separately, a decimal point one place out, a percentage of the wrong base. That is what makes the parent report diagnostic instead of a grade book. VAR check is a three-step ladder that gives more help instead of handing over the answer. AROUND THE GAME A career with ten clubs, eight keepers with hidden habits, five stadium levels and seasons with promotion and relegation. Two players on the same phone. Online, turn by turn through Game Center, so no one can cheat. Leaderboards. A shop with coins that can only be earned by playing — never bought — and that only sells looks.
