math game for the little ones and not only
Today's game is a nice math game featuring our friend Tux, the Linux mascot, who we have already met on several occasions. For example as the protagonist in SuperTuxKart, in SuperTux or again in Tux Rider And SuperTux Advance.
In our opinion, today's game is not exclusively dedicated to children as it has many degrees of difficulty. Meanwhile, you can choose what type of operations you want to perform: additions, subtractions, multiplications, divisions and operations with relative numbers. In each of these macro categories we find different difficulties: we generally start from a few small numbers and end up having to solve more complex operations which are also suitable for slightly older students.
Tux, of Math Command
The game has existed for a long time for the desktop version, the first release on GitHub dates back to 2006 1, but in more recent times it has also been brought to smartphones and Browsers thanks to the project Afrikalan. TuxMath was in fact introduced as part of this project which aims to make free educational software accessible in West Africa. So whether the smartphone version or the one on Browsers you like it you can as always make one donation and in this way also help an educational project.
How to play?
The game is very simple and intuitive and any child can immediately understand how it works even without explanations. Meteorites will fall from the sky and Tux will have to save the planet by destroying them. In order to destroy them with the laser beam he will have to carry out the mathematical operations, in case of a wrong result the laser will shoot in vain, missing the target.
In the web and Android versions it is possible to play with three different themes: “Classic“, “Original" And "Afrikalan“.
