Designed for grades 4 to 8, this math storybook adventure game combines arithmetic, reading, problem solving, and cooperative learning. The game is designed to eliminate word problem phobia. The kit includes a video, a teacher guide, eight illustrated student storybooks, eight game boards, eight dice, and reproducible game boards, playing pieces, and navigation sheets.
Students watch the tale of the Kingdom of Wisdom on the introductory video.
As the story unfolds, they discover their roles as heroes and heroines who must save the Kingdom from destruction. Students learn that they have just escaped the Dungeon of Doom and must travel on the game board to Queen Octavia's Castle. Cooperative learning groups are then equipped with a game board map and a storybook. The book continues the story that was introduced in the video and students take turns reading the storybook to each other. In order to advance, students face math problems that introduce them to new characters and plot twists.
