Math Track#

A single-player mental-math game where you roll a die and move around a square track of operation cells, keeping a running total in your head. Only the cell you land on applies its operation to the current value. When your pawn returns to the start, type the final value — if it’s correct, you advance to the next level. Each level widens the set of operations and the operand range.

Rules#

• You start with value 0, and the pawn sits on START.
• Roll a 6-sided die (1~6) and move that many cells, one step at a time.
• Only the destination cell’s operation is applied to the current value. Cells you pass through are not applied.
• If you land exactly on one of the top corners (top-right or top-left), the next roll automatically takes the diagonal shortcut (always the shorter remaining path to the start).
• CENTER pass-through rules:
  • If you stop exactly on the center, your next roll continues along the bottom-right diagonal (23 → 24 → START) and goes straight to start.
  • If you pass through the center (still have steps remaining in this roll), the pawn diverts onto the bottom-left diagonal (27 → 28 → bottom-left corner), then loops around the outer perimeter to start.
• When the pawn reaches (or would overshoot) the start, the final-value input panel appears.
• Enter the correct value to advance to the next Level. If you miss, you retry the same board.

Calculation Rules#

• The running total is never shown on screen. Track it in your head — the path log only records the sequence of operations.
• The ÷ operator uses integer quotient (truncated toward zero). For example, 7 ÷ 3 = 2 and -7 ÷ 3 = -2.
• Subtraction and multiplication can naturally produce negative values.

Levels#

Tips#

• The path log shows every applied operation and each shortcut entry in order. Glance at it if you lose track.
• If a particularly nasty layout comes up, tap “New Board” to reshuffle the operations (the level stays the same).
• When × and ÷ are mixed, look for pairs you can simplify early. For instance, if × 7 is followed later by ÷ 2, try to spot groupings that cancel out.
