This exciting product combines a CD-ROM game and print materials to teach pre-algebra concepts. It is also affiliated with a website where students can play the game online. The premise of the game is simple: upon entering the game, students get trapped in a cyber universe and must use pre-algebra skills to escape. There are pitfalls set up by the forces of evil, and hints and lessons provided by the forces of good. When the game is done, students will actually have created their own textbook for equation and problem solving.
 

In this VideoKit, attorneys, detectives, and uniformed officers discuss the real math applications that arise in the course of their work. Math problems derived from their high-profile cases are then set up for students to solve with the aid of comprehensive worksheets and other resources provided in the package. Among the topics explored are angles of trajectory, distance, and time, data analysis, elementary probability, and logical reasoning.
