To enrich my well-being, I created a kids math game on distance, speed and time formulas to help kids

I had loads of fun creating this video game for children

For the love of me in school I had the hardest time with the distance, speed and time math problems. Having been a preschool teacher, I didn’t have to deal with this level of math problem.

To address this issue, while retired, I created the funniest math game for kids, so that they would not experience the same feelings I had in elementary school.

Drego, the little green shape shifter steals a math formula from one of the Professors at the University. Professor Spenser and her students created a math formula that can control all the computers in the world.

After Drego steals the formula in New York, the FBI is called in, because they are sure Drego will cross state lines to get away. Professor Spenser knows Drego is a shape shifter, and rather than explain that to the police, she hires Detective Jarbo to track down Drego.

Kids are then asked to become Detective Jarbo’s Assistant and determine, one, where Drego might travel too next. And two, how long will it take Drego to reach different destinations if the aircraft is traveling at 600 mph, with a distance of 2000 miles? (Example)

Kids get the formula and can help Detective Jarbo find Drego.
