The Math Academy Gets a Galactic New Look!

Posted on December 7, 2011 by Math Blaster

The Math Academy, formerly known as the Academy, is where your Blasters will learn to defend the galaxy by using their brains and building their math skills! To keep the ISP inter-galactically connected, the Math Academy has been updated and given an entirely new design.

There are new portals all around the Math Academy that will shuttle your kids off to each of the training games. This nebular new arrangement has transported some games to a new location. The Fitness Training Room portal is now located on the second floor of the Math Academy. Inside your kids will find some of their favorite activities like the gravity-defying rock wall, as well as some new additions such as the Ready Room and Roller Ball Rally.

Your kids also may have noticed the huge orb floating in the center of the Math Academy. This is the data processing hub that is continually pulling information from all the training games to keep Max and G.C. updated on the Blasters game progress. So, make sure your kids build up their skills so they can move up in rank to become one of the best of the best in the ISP.

What do your kids think of the new changes to the Math Academy?
