🦸 Math Heroes — a free maths game for kids
A collapsed bridge, a fire on the ninth floor, a runaway train — every rescue is a different kind of maths.
These are word problems with the words taken out and a picture put in their place. Making 20 metres of bridge from 3, 5, 7 and 10 metre pieces is combination and decomposition; counting from floor 4 to floor 9 is subtraction with a reason; picking the fastest track is comparison. The maths is the tool, not the task.
