Educator's Review: In this math squares game players have to select squares from the board with numbers on them that add up to the target number. The target number keeps changing, so you have to think quickly. Squares disappear once they have been used and are replaced with new numbers. Players have to think of different ways to create the target numbers, for example since the squares keep changing you might make 35 on one turn from 20 and 15, and on another turn from 5, 15, and 15. This is as much of a puzzle game as a numbers game, and it combines the two nicely.
Please Note: There is a timer in this game, which might make slower players anxious, but it runs down pretty slowly and players get more time for correct answers so no one's game should end too quickly. Bonus points are, however, tied to speed of performance.
