Absurd Math is an interactive mathematical problem-solving game series for pre-algebra. The player proceeds on missions in a strange world where the ultimate power consists of mathematical skill and knowledge. Many of the pages have hidden clues and areas. Anytime a player needs help, they may e-mail the staff for assistance. They try to respond within two days. Teachers can e-mail them for answer keys. This activity is great for gamers among our students. You can get them to do the math as they explore this world. To complete this activity, use the Example Web Site (above). To find other math story problems, use the Web site link below. 

Don't be tricked by the authorization codes. On the first page, it states the Energy Level times area is the authorization code. You are in area 46 and the energy level is -3. Your students will need to multiply 46 X (-3) to uncover the authorization code. This activity is to challenge your students who already understand the basic concepts.

Accessibility is a requirement to meet the needs of our learners with disabilities, but as we include these features in our lessons, we improve the success for all our learners.
