Math; Wednesday, First Period [12/08].

Guess what, Math Class! You were meeting in the Danger Shop today! Because that was totally something you'd expect with a math class, right?

Look, it was either this or have Summer go over accounting and budgeting for retail, and she was pretty sure this was going to be super preferable.

"Okay, guys," she started, "so, like, back in the ancient days of the '80s and '90s, a bunch of people tried to use computers and video games to help kids learn and stuff, and they made things like this Math Blaster video game that my dad was weirdly obsessed with when we were little, and so that's what we're doing today, only, like, better, because Danger Shop.

"So it's pretty simple," she offered, "you each get to pilot one of these spaceships here, and a math problem will show up on the screen and you have to, like, shoot the right number that solves the problem? Or else you get shot. And if you get shot too much, well...crash and burn, baby! Then get back in and try again, because, again, Danger Shop."

She...was expecting kind of a lot of that, if the tests from last week were anything to go off of.

"So, suit up, buckle in and let's do math in space, or something, I don't know, I never even took Calculus."

Ready to shoot numbers in space!

Or, you know, like, whatever.

There's not a whole lot to it, but if you want to worry about how you've never driven a spaceship before and then have it pointed out to you that it doesn't matter, it's not even real, then, now's a good tiem for that, probably.

Bonus: the spaceships and optional spacesuits if you want to get really into character are super cute, but strap in, take 'flight', and shoot the solution to the math problems that show up on your dashboard before they shoot you!

Naturally, the problems will start out simple and increase in difficulty as you go on.

Who definitely doesn't think she'd do so great at this, either, which is why she'd glad she'd the teacher and doesn't have to.

I've never actually played Math Blaster!, but I distinctly remember spending a ton of time on some sort of Math version of Frogger way back in second grade....
