Teaching style
The game is extremely versatile. It works well in guided math situations as a small group activity. The game can even be given as homework or a test or extra credit. Students can play "solitaire" or collaboratively where they actually teach each other math as they play. One way to really accelerate learning is to have the class broken up into groups of 4-5 students working collaboratively and competing against the other groups. We also have online and mobile versions with assessment and accountability. Start a contest at your school with our ERP (enterprise resource planning) and raise your math scores while you're fundraising!

Additional biographical information
I invented this game in the game in the 3rd grade. The storybook in the classroom kit tells the story of who Albert is (my uncle) and how I created the game so it engages students via play and relates to them in a way a worksheet can't.
