Description
Mission Logistics is a real-world math strategy game that challenges students to solve missions using speed, distance, cost per km, capacity limits, and rate reasoning.
Students step into the role of an emergency aid logistics analyst and complete missions by calculating and comparing:
- Time = Distance Γ· Speed
- Cost = (Cost per km Γ Distance) + Fixed cost per trip
- Cargo weight vs. vehicle capacity
- Efficiency balance (with time as the priority factor)
Game Features:
- 3 differentiated play modes:
- Easy (Multichoice) β guided vehicle options for scaffolded support
- Classic β students solve and justify their own strategy
- Critical Mode β adds constraints to boost reasoning and optimization
- Easy (Multichoice) β guided vehicle options for scaffolded support
- Multiplayer friendly β great for small groups, math centers, and resource rooms
- Answer keys included β supports teacher facilitation and flexible reasoning
- No physical materials required β fully digital, printable mission cards included
- Original studio content β all scenarios and characters are created by the author
Best For:
- Math centers and rotation stations
- Small group competition and collaborative problem-solving
- Resource room or guided instruction settings
- Real-world math lessons (rates, multiplication, comparison, optimization)
- Early finishers or extension challenges
Skills Practiced:
- Multiplication and multi-step operations
- Rate reasoning (distance, speed, time)
- Cost modeling and comparison
- Capacity constraints
- Optimization and decision logic

CCSS4.MD.A.2
Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale.
CCSS5.MD.A.1
Convert among different-sized standard measurement units within a given measurement system (e.g., convert 5 cm to 0.05 m), and use these conversions in solving multi-step, real world problems.
CCSS6.NS.A.1
Interpret and compute quotients of fractions, and solve word problems involving division of fractions by fractions, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem. For example, create a story context for (2/3) Γ· (3/4) and use a visual fraction model to show the quotient; use the relationship between multiplication and division to explain that (2/3) Γ· (3/4) = 8/9 because 3/4 of 8/9 is 2/3. (In general, (π’/π£) Γ· (π€/π₯) = π’π₯/π£π€.) How much chocolate will each person get if 3 people share 1/2 lb of chocolate equally? How many 3/4-cup servings are in 2/3 of a cup of yogurt? How wide is a rectangular strip of land with length 3/4 mi and area 1/2 square mi?
