How to Play Magic Math
The main thing to remember about Magic Maths is that you are trying to learn whilst having fun. The Bouncing Ball game allows you to combine the balls to add the values inside them together to complete the equation. The weights game shows pictures that have random weights and you have to find the heaviest or lightest object.
The best and current score is shown on the screen at all times as well as a timer that you play against. You get extra points for getting a certain number of answers correct in a row, this is known as a chain point bonus.
If you get stuck, you can select the “how to play” button which is located at the bottom right side of the main level select screen and the game selection screen and will give you further instructions as to how to play the game. You can pause the game at any time and off the sound.
Select a Game
There are two main games, the Bouncing Ball numbers game and Weights guessing one.
Selecting a Level
Within the two games there are 4 levels and a difficulty setting of Easy, Medium and Hard. The difficulty changes the amount of time you have as well as changing the scoring system.
The fourth level of each game is a bonus level that will be unlocked when you have completed all the previous levels of the game, they are also difficulty setting dependent. So if you play on easy and have unlocked the bonus level, it wont be unlocked if you haven’t completed the other levels on a different difficulty as well. Each level has a unique set of questions that are tailor made to test the player; no two questions are a like.
Score System
The score will change depending on the difficulty, the player will always get 10 points for a correct answer and will loose points if you get questions wrong. Both the loss of points and chain point bonus change according to the difficulty set.
