Basketball

Basketball is an activity in World of JumpStart. It is designed to teach math concepts. It can be accessed from the JS Sports Arena, or from the Quick Launch menu.

Description
In the first part of the activity, basketballs with equations on them will fall down from the top of the screen. The player must provide the correct answers to the equations by typing out answers using they keyboard or by pressing the number buttons on the calculator at the bottom of the screen. The objective is to get as many correct answers as possible before the timer runs out.

When the timer runs out, the second part of the activity begins, where the player gets to shoot some hoops for fun. The number of basketballs that the player gets to shoot is determined by how many correct answers they got in the first part of the activity. To throw a basketball, the player must push the spacebar to jump, and then push the spacebar again while in midair to shoot the ball. The shot must be timed correctly in order for the ball to land in the hoop. This part of the activity is not timed, and lasts until the player runs out of basketballs.

After the second part of the activity is complete, the player receives their score, which is determined based on how well they did.
