Math Questions

Here's a screenshot of the garden theme and an easy math question. We can use shapes such as squares, triangle, circles etc and also pictures such as apples, frogs or flowers. Each theme will have a set of pictures related to that theme for this type of math question as well as matching and pattern recognition questions.

By sliding her finger across the iPad or iPhone, the player will make the large bee contact the small bee that is carrying the correct answer. The small bees fly around the screen so the player must also avoid them until she knows which answer she wants to choose.

The next difficulty level replaces shapes and pictures with numbers.

As the difficulty increases we get into subtraction, multi-operator questions, multiplication and division. Another way to increase the difficulty is to have more bees on the screen. The player must avoid them and also choose from 3 or more possible answers. I've tried the game with 6 bees on the screen and it is really hard to avoid them but kind of fun. I may never go as high as six but if a player reaches the highest level for all question types that might be a fun way to keep them excited about the game.

As I mentioned in my first post, the game difficulty will adapt to the player. So they must become proficient at a certain group of questions before the difficulty level increases. They must also answer the question in a certain time period in order to move up. The player doesn't know this of course, they just play the game and don't have to worry about difficulty levels.

In my next post I'll show some of the other question types.

Have a great day!
