Discover “Angle Pirates” - an exciting educational game for school children. This game helps pupils to practise estimating angles in a fun way and improve their mathematical skills. In “Angle Pirates”, the children take on the role of a clever pirate parrot hunting for gold ducats on the high seas. In order to hit the ships and capture the valuable coins, they have to estimate the correct angle to the direction of travel and fire the cannon. The more accurate the estimate, the more gold ducats you get as a reward!
