__________ neXtu
Next to nothing is more fun than capturing your enemy’ s pieces! Strategically place geometric pieces with point values on the game board to collect more shapes and points than your opponent.

__________ Square Off
Perimeter, area, and alien spaceships — oh, my! The more ships you capture and area you cover, the more you score.

__________ Factor Dazzle
It’s dazzle-icious! Find all the factors of a number to earn points. Then, choose a number for which your opponent must find the factors.

__________ Fraction Feud
Prepare to battle in this game of fraction action! In each joust, earn points by creating a larger (or smaller) fraction than your opponent.

__________ Times Square
Exercise your skill with factors and multiples! Try to get four squares in a row vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.

__________ Slam Ball
Hit tokens, collect points! Slam the ball into the sides of the game board, and use your knowledge of angles, symmetry, and reflections to choose the best path.

__________ Dig It
Let’s get dirty! Create and locate fractions on a number line to tell your shovel where to dig. Earn points for the amount of dirt you collect and the number of jewels you discover.

__________ Drop Zone
Make sums of 1 and prevent your opponent from making sums of 1.

__________ Ker-Splash
Dive into math fun as you grab tokens, combine terms, and use your algebra skills! Increase the coefficients to maximize your score when the secret values of the variables are revealed.

__________ PrimeTime
Take a random walk on the wild side! Roll dice, spin a spinner, or flip coins to determine your next move — but which one will give you the best chance of landing on a prime number or bonus space?
