MathMania 11-14
by Topologika Software Ltd
Embedding maths skills with exciting mazes and thought-provoking puzzles
Do you need to get students practising not just the ‘four rules’ of number, but also topic work and problem-solving?
In MathMania 11-14, students navigate mazes by answering revision questions on
- Numbers
- Angles
- Time
- Measures
- Shape-and-Space
- and ‘Lucky Dip’
The aim is to win points and get past maze obstacles.
With enough points to leave a maze, students can enter another, or win bonus points by tackling one of eight Numeracy puzzles. These are
- Magic Squares
- Towers of Hanoi
- Fill It
- Sliding Blocks
- Coins
- Weight
- Bao
- Eureka
Features

- Puzzles can be played as independent problem-solving activities
- Keeps High Score tables
- Special ‘Teacher’ players can monitor students from within the game
- Includes a Maze Designer
- New question sets can be added with the Custom Question Writer
- Prints worksheets to be completed away from the computer
Network Play Features
On a network or across the Internet, some very special options come into play in MathMania 3. Students can navigate a maze at the same time as their friends, or work with (or against) students in other schools, or even overseas. What’s more, to make things strategically more interesting, they can drop question ‘bombs’ to stay ahead of other players… Joining in is as easy as logging on.
Like the other titles in the Mania series, MathMania 3 can be set up to offer only the features you want. You can run it ‘stand-alone’ or in ‘multi-player’ mode. The more ‘game-like’ features can be reserved as rewards. Levels of play are completely under your control.
If your network or broadband connection doesn’t get used as much as it should, MathMania 3 could be part of the answer.
MathMania 3 includes a Quick Start Guide, a Handbook, a Questions Puzzles and Classroom Guide, and a Maze Design sheet.
“What really motivates our students is the facility to play against each other over our network (or with other schools over the internet): this is a really powerful motivator. I have to stop students using the program or they’d spend all day with it!” – Simon Midgley, Rhyddings School, UK
