Math Blaster Plus! Overview
Math Blaster Plus! is an educational DOS title that updates an earlier version, moving away from a BASIC environment. It presents mathematical practice through a series of distinct activities, each with its own approach to reinforcing concepts like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and fractions. The software introduces a graphical interface designed to simplify navigation between these different sections.
Educational content is delivered through pre written lesson sets rather than random generation, with these problems documented in the manual. The system supports classroom use by allowing the creation of new lessons and tracking individual student progress. It can also produce printed certificates and paper based quizzes from stored material.
Gameplay varies from simple flash card style review to more involved tasks. One activity involves correcting errors in multiple displayed problems, while another features direct control of a character to select answers with a rocket. Several modes provide encouraging feedback and track performance with scoreboards, generally offering multiple attempts per problem, making the overall difficulty fair.
