How it plays
The game presents arithmetic questions within a space-themed, arcade-influenced format. The player’s objective is to select or enter the correct answer before time runs out, with successful responses advancing the current activity and incorrect answers reducing performance.
Activities are organized around repeated rounds of problem solving. Progress depends on both mathematical accuracy and response speed, allowing the game to function as practice for basic arithmetic rather than as a story-driven adventure. The exact exercise mix and difficulty can vary by version or configuration.
Plan your run
Work for accuracy before speed. Read the complete problem, identify the operation, and enter the answer deliberately rather than guessing.
Use repeated sessions to build fluency with the arithmetic areas that cause mistakes. Faster responses become useful only after the underlying calculations are reliable.
Meet the cast
A spacefaring character associated with the Math Blaster series.
Math Blaster Plus! is an educational mathematics game developed and published by Davidson & Associates for DOS. It combines timed arithmetic exercises with arcade-style action, presenting numerical problems as part of a space-themed challenge rather than as a conventional worksheet. Players solve problems to support their progress through short activities that test speed and accuracy across core arithmetic skills. The game was designed primarily for children and families, with difficulty aimed at practice and repetition rather than complex adventure storytelling. Its mix of instruction and action helped establish the Math Blaster name as a recognizable educational-game brand during the late 1980s, although its appeal depends heavily on the player’s interest in repeated arithmetic drills.
