Math Blaster: Online Shooting and Mental Math Game

About Math Blaster

Math Blaster is an online math game that combines spaceship shooting with mental math. Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problems float across the screen, and your ship has to destroy them before they reach you. If you like this kind of challenge, in the category of math games at Ludorex there are more ideas to keep practicing mental math. The space setting and time pressure give it a different rhythm from the typical paper math exercise, something that tends to motivate more those who get bored with traditional calculations.

How to play Math Blaster?

Each block that appears on screen shows a math operation. Work out the result in your head, aim your ship at the correct block and fire before the wave reaches you. Difficulty and speed increase as you pass levels, so the final waves demand solving the operations almost automatically.

1. Read the math operation shown on each block.
2. Work out the result in your head.
3. Aim and shoot the correct block.
4. Survive each wave to move up a level.
