Repair a meteor-damaged space station by solving middle school math problems.
About this activity
Math Rescue Mission is a sci-fi themed math game for middle schoolers who repair a damaged space station by solving math problems tied to ratios, percentages, geometry, and equations.
Who is Math Rescue Mission for?
Middle school students, roughly grades 6-8, practising applied math skills including ratios, percents, geometry, and equations across varied problem types.
What does Math Rescue Mission teach, and how?
Students choose one of five damaged station modules and solve a repair calculation matching that system, such as ratios for Oxygen Control or geometry for Hull Repair, working through a short sequence of steps per module. Wrong answers give a hint and a second try before moving on, and correct fixes restore the system visually.
How is success measured in Math Rescue Mission?
The app tracks repair points with a first-try bonus, a count of problems solved, first-try accuracy percentage, and systems restored, shown live on the station map and summarized in a final Mission Report once all five systems are fixed.
How long does Math Rescue Mission take, and what does it need?
There is no timer, so students can work at their own pace, and progress saves automatically on the device; it includes sound effects that can be toggled and works on a single default profile without needing a partner.
