Star WarsŪ Maths: Jabba's Game Galaxy
Maths in that Galaxy Far, Far Away -- Lucas Learning's Star WarsŪ Maths: Jabba's Game Galaxy Offers Innovative New Approach to Learning Maths.
Engaging Activities Go Beyond Traditional Maths to Build and Sharpen Mathematics Skills for Children age Six to Nine.
Watto, the infamous junk shop dealer of Mos Espa, is looking for a few good pilots to help rid the galaxy of space junk. But first you'll need to build a new ship! Star Wars Maths: Jabba's Game Galaxy, from Lucas Learning Ltd., seamlessly integrates basic arithmetic skills and maths principles into exciting games of strategy and logic. Star Wars Maths joins the library of Lucas Learning award-winning titles, focused on providing children learning opportunities through exploration and discovery.
After crash landing on Tatooine, players enter the world of Jabba's Game Galaxy. Here they challenge favourite Star Wars characters such as Jabba the Hutt and Sebulba to maths based games of skill and strategy, earning credits as they go. In Ratts Race, for example, players wind their way through an intriguing board game, solving addition, subtraction, multiplication, equivalencies, and geometry problems along the way. A two-player option allows for games to be played against a fellow earth opponent.
Once players have earned credits, they can commence rebuilding their ship. Kids use their credits to purchase parts from Watto in his shop, and then continue on to the hangar to construct and customise their ship. When the ship is ready, kids navigate and rid the galaxy of dangerous space junk and asteroids in a maths focussed action-arcade activity.
"Our main goal with Star Wars Maths was to create an engaging game for kids, that still has all the components parents are looking for: recognisable maths content, high replayability and an overarching goal with lots of rewards and encouragement," says Collette Michaud, project leader for Lucas Learning. "We wanted to go beyond the standard maths and practice software game and excite kids about maths in a new and fun way that was well integrated with the Star Wars universe."
