This engaging math adventure, an adding integers game, combines learning with excitement as players pilot a rocket through a beautifully animated starlit space. The game cleverly transforms basic addition of integers into a thrilling journey, where correct answers boost your rocket higher while mistakes create tension as you descend.
Answer quickly: every right answer fires the engine, and five in a row gives you a turbo boost. A wrong answer drops the rocket and shows you how to get the right answer. Reach the moon before the rocket falls back to the ground.
Choose a mission to begin.
With two difficulty levels, Explorer for beginners and Conqueror for those seeking a challenge, players can progress at their own pace. The animated rocket and moon, complete with twinkling stars, a turbo boost for streaks of right answers, and ambient sounds, create an immersive experience that makes mathematical practice feel less like homework and more like an interstellar mission.
Need a quick reminder before you launch? These two rules are all you need for the game.
Same signs: add the numbers and keep the sign. For example, 6 + 9 = 15 and −6 + (−9) = −15.
Different signs: subtract the smaller distance from 0 from the larger one, and keep the sign of the number that is farther from 0. For example, −9 + 4 = −5 and 9 + (−4) = 5.
Answer: −12 + 7 = −5
Adding the distances when the signs are different. −12 + 7 is not −19 or 19. When the signs are different, you subtract: 12 − 7 = 5, so −12 + 7 = −5.
What is −15 + 8?
−7. The signs are different, so subtract 15 − 8 = 7. −15 is farther from 0, so the answer is negative.
What is −14 + (−6)?
−20. Both numbers are negative, so add 14 + 6 = 20 and keep the negative sign.
