Math Missions: The Race to Spectacle City Arcade Grades K-2

Kids tackle a modern problem in each of the Math Mission programs: how to help a city pay its bills. And we're happy to report that math programs just don't get any better.

The Race to Spectacle City Arcade is for grades K to 2, and The Amazing Arcade Adventure is for grades 3 to 5. There are more than a dozen challenges in each game. Kids piece together shapes to raise the World Piece Building. At Homer Grown's vegetable market, they use multiplication and division to fill customer orders and divvy up the produce. With each problem they complete, kids earn money to use on games at an arcade. Lively music and a cast of characters like Tab Lloyd, the newsboy, make these programs as entertaining as they are educational.
