Project Background
Super Math Maker is an educational platformer game targeted towards late elementary to early middle school students with a desire to learn math while still doing something they enjoy, gaming. This game works by quizzing the students on various math concepts which rewards them with points they can spend to add objects to their platforming level. This makes the game replayable and open to creative out of the box solutions to each level. The math quizzes can also be targeted to certain topics like long division or simplifying fractions. This game seeks to provide a fun and interesting way to practice math.

Motivation
The motivation for this game was that we wanted to create something that allowed students to reinforce their mathematical skills in a way that’s more engaging than a traditional homework assignment. We were inspired by various two dimensional platforms such as Mario and tried to blend that with aspects of games we have played on coolmathgames.com because of how entertaining it made education when we were younger.
