 
'Falling Equations' (or 'Falling Formulas') is a small Tetris-like game that drops numbers and operation signs; every time you manage to line up a true equation (like 25 + 3 = 28) that line turns red and disappears. You can change numbers and operations as they fall, and move them around just like Tetris. There are extra features that Tetris doesn't have ... the game is a lot of fun to play after you figure out how everything works. It even keeps a high-scores chart. The game is very playable, even for a math teacher! Students in all grades from six through nine can hone their mental math skills with this small program. It's self-installing, and just 215 K (zipped). Get it here. |
