Summary

File:Sansu4nenKeisanGameDivisionLevel.png
Avoiding the ghost and progressing to the next door in order to solve another division problem.

This video game is an educational video game teaching four basic principles: division, adding/subtracting decimals, adding/subtracting fractions and multiplying/dividing decimals. Each mini-game has two difficulty levels and allows for two players to take turns playing the mini-games.

In the "Division" and "Decimal Addition & Subtraction" challenges, players have to control a man as he tries to destroy monsters inside a dungeon with a sword. An unbeatable ghost runs outside the building; he cannot be defeated with the sword and will instantly defeat the character if touched. Climbing to the top of the building naturally results in more math questions being asked.[1] The other challenges result in having to control a race car as it navigates through a complex labyrinth. Players must find the exit tile while avoiding rival drivers in order to access the next math question.[1]
