Math Land is an educational video game for children and adults. With it they will learn and obtain reinforcement for the main mathematical operations—addition, subtraction, multiplication, sorting from higher to lower, division, and negative numbers. It is not just a math app—it's a real educational adventure! GAME PLOT An evil pirate, Max, has stolen the sacred gems and has cursed the islands filling them with obstacles and traps. Help Ray, our pirate, find the gems and restore the natural order of things. Navigate your ship through the seas to get them, but remember: you will need a spyglass to discover new islands. Solve fun math games to get them: addition, subtraction, numbering, multiplication tables, and division. The islanders need you! EVERY ISLAND IS AN ADVENTURE Have fun with over 25 levels and negotiate all kinds of obstacles in order to get to the chest that holds the gem. It will be a real adventure—you'll have to deal with quicksand, bewitched parrots, volcanoes with lava, puzzle games, magic doors, funny carnivorous plants, etc. It will surprise you! EDUCATIONAL CONTENT For children aged 5-6: * Learning to add and subtract with very small numbers and amounts (1 to 10). * Sorting numbers from higher to lower (1 to 10). * Sorting numbers from lower to higher (1 to 10). * Reinforcing mental arithmetic with already learned additions and subtractions. For children aged 7-8: * Learning to add and subtract with larger numbers and amounts (1 to 20). * Getting started on learning multiplication tables (the learning of multiplication tables will be done gradually in order to track the children's progress). * Sorting numbers from higher to lower (1 to 50). * Sorting numbers from lower to higher (1 to 50). * Developing mental arithmetic with educational games based on addition, subtraction, and multiplication tables. For children aged 9+ and adults: * More complex additions and subtractions, teaching mental association of numbers with different arithmetic strategies (adding and subtracting). * Reinforcing the learning of all multiplication tables (multiplications). * Sorting numbers from higher to lower and vice versa, including negative numbers. * Learning mathematical operations with negative numbers. * Mental division. * Developing advanced mental arithmetic with additions, subtractions, multiplications, and divisions.
