JumpStart Study Helpers Math Booster

JumpStart Study Helpers Math Booster is a JumpStart game released in 2003. It is geared to 1st - 5th Grades and intended to assist in practicing math problems. It is a sister game to JumpStart Study Helpers Spelling Bee, and both were packaged together in a bundle called JumpStart Advanced Study Helpers in 2007.

Unlike most JumpStart games, there are not three but six difficulty levels. Users may also choose from different subjects: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions/decimals/percentages, and review covering multiple subjects. Like some other JumpStart games, it contains three gameplay levels as well. The game also features the Editor, which allows users to create custom lists of their own addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems.

Unlike in most JumpStart games, the activities are not presented in the context of a storyline, set of goals, or clear fictional setting, but there is an overarching outer space theme.

Activities

 * Digi-Hog Drop: Little, furry, presumably extraterrestrial critters called Digi-Hogs enjoy eating numbers, and have overeaten them. The Digi-Hogs are located in a machine made out of side-by-side tubes that is designed to squeeze them so that they feel better. They have numbers and operational symbols on their bellies, and the user must drop the Digi-Hogs in such a way as to form correct equations, then press a lever.
 * Galactic Pinball: Using the arrow keys, users must guide around a pinball containing Frankie around a screen full of obstacles in order to get to one of the holes at the corner of the screen, which will display numbers that are the answers to a math problem.
 * Asteroid Smash: Asteroids containing diamonds are flying around. Users must shoot the asteroid with the correct answer to the math problem by clicking on it.
