Happy Holidays from Math Blaster!

Update: This contest is over.

Max and the entire team here at Math Blaster would like to wish you and your family a safe and very happy holiday season! With your kids spending so much time on the Space Station, let us help them get into the spirit of the season with a few fun filled math and logic activities.

Have them start by sending their Blasters over to the Math Academy to try out one of our latest games, Ice Cubed. There, they’ll be in perfect winter weather as they help Cornelius escape from his frozen state! This icy tundra will be a big change from the Space Station’s usual atmosphere, but in this season of gratitude and giving, Cornelius will be glad your kids stopped by for a game. Their hard work won’t go unnoticed!

And as a very special gift to your kids, we’ve listed a few fun and festive math riddles below. The first Blaster to reply with all the correct answers will win 2,000 Math Blaster credits!

1. There are two shoes to every pair and Max has sent one pair of shoes to each of his 5 Blaster Buddies. How many individual shoes did Max start with before wrapping each set?

2. You’ve bought 25 candy canes to surprise your B.F.F.s, but there are 32 buddies on your list. How many more candy canes will you need to buy so that everyone on your buddy list gets at least one of these sweet treats?

3. Max has made one pot of hot chocolate to serve at his holiday party. He’s able to serve 6 Blasters from one pot. If he wanted to serve 36 Blasters, how many pots of hot chocolate would he need?

4. 7 of your Blaster buddies have asked you to help them decorate their rooms for the Holidays, but during this busy time of year you can only help 3 of your buddies. How many of your friends will need to find other Blasters to help them?

Have you kids figured them out? Then have them submit their answers in the comment’s section, along with the email address they use to login and their player’s name (Don’t worry! This won’t be posted on the blog.) below, for a chance to win 2,000 Math Blaster credits. Good luck, Blasters! And, in the meantime, let us know how you and your Blasters are celebrating this season.
