In Mathville VIP you are the Very Important Person who makes things happen - by applying your math problem-solving skills in all kinds of real-world situations.

Join the work force and earn credits by using numeric, spatial and graphing math skills in hundreds of different jobs. Sharpen your focus on symmetry, ratios, area and other math topics in Photography, one of the five activities in the Hobby Shop.

Swap your hockey stick for a protractor and score from a new angle in Hockey, one of the five activities in Sports. Check out Soccer in the Sports Hall and you’ll never look at a soccer ball in the same way again – you’ll be seeing pentagons, perimeters and rotational symmetry!

At work, students choose from a variety of different jobs at two levels of difficulty. Then it’s on to sports, hobbies and the shops, keeping in mind that math skills are required all over town. At the office and at the end of every session, printable certificates and status reports are available for record-keeping.
