Blast off into space and soar through the galaxies as students tackle equal sharing word problems in this engaging digital adventure. Each correct answer sends players warping to a new galaxy, where they collect cosmic objects and earn space badges along the way.

In this game, students will read simple word problems and identify how many items are shared into each group. By interpreting scenarios involving equal groups, they build foundational division skills and develop their understanding of how division relates to everyday situations.

With each correct answer, players gather intergalactic treasures that contribute to their badge collection. At the end of the game, students are shown all the space badges they earned on their mission across the stars.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Interpret and solve equal sharing word problems
• ✅ Develop foundational division skills using real-world contexts
• ✅ Build understanding of grouping and partitioning
• ✅ Strengthen reasoning and mathematical thinking
• ✅ Engage with maths content in an interactive, space-themed setting

How to Play:

1. Students read each word problem carefully and determine how many items are shared into each group.
2. A correct answer allows them to collect a space object and warp to a new galaxy.
3. Each object collected adds to their final badge tally.
4. The game continues until all questions are answered.
5. At the end, players are shown all the badges they earned on their journey.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Use as part of your division unit to introduce or revise equal sharing concepts
• 💡 Great for maths groups or rotations focused on real-world problem solving
• 💡 Pair with hands-on manipulatives to reinforce sharing strategies after gameplay
• 💡 Encourage students to draw or act out the problems to support understanding

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Let students personalise their experience by choosing from six characters before the game begins
• 💛 Select the number of players or teams at the start of the game to suit individual, paired, or group play
• 💛 Send the QR code home for students to play as a homework or revision task
