In a balanced equation, both sides of the equals sign generate the same number. In this game, we need to click and drag numbers down from the top and into the right position to create a balanced equation. The game only has one level, but restarting the game gives a new set of equations to do. The equations are one and two step equations involving both positive and negative numbers. This game will not start unless you first click your mouse into the game area, then the cursor movement and space bar shooter start functioning. The game can be played at the following link. For this example equation, the correct answer from the multiple choice options will be -10. Note that the game does use negative numbers, and so some questions will look like this: 15 = 5 – x. If we get it wrong we can try again by clicking back on the dot and re-doing the same equation on our next turn. If we get it correct, we get a dot to confirm the hit. However, when there is a ship there, we get given a one step equation to solve. We click on the opponent’s right hand side grid and get splash circles if there is not a ship on that grid square. This is played just like the classic Battleship game.

Apple products do not have the functionality to run such applications, but the games should work fine on any normal netbook, laptop, or PC. Since most of these games use Flash, Shockwave, or Javascript, they probably will not work on Apple devices.
