Harder problems involve functions of two variables. There are four or more statues in each room, each decorated with a combination of precious stones. The values of these stones are given in certain terms. Students arrange these statues from least to greatest value and hone their ability to construct linear algebraic statements. The number of stones, the number of statutes, and the complexity of the combinations increase as problems grow harder.
Students find the treasure by solving the algebraic equations expressed in the clues.
These equations define the characteristics of a beetle that rests upon a stone in the wall. Your teacher s guide can show you how to enter math problems from your own curriculum. You can modify the intensity of the challenges by extending or limiting the number of times a student can submit responses. The program s individualized tracking system lets you survey students participation, make a short progress report, and focus student usage to specific areas or levels.
