Seven Spells is another game used in the Happy Maths project. 👾📚

In this digital card game, the player joins a martial arts academy where practitioners learn how to fight using mathematics abilities. 🥋

Once Upon a Maths is one of the games used in the Happy Maths project.

It is an adventure game in which the player journeys throughout history, learning and applying mathematics concepts to travel from one era to another.

Check out how the game works! 🧶⬇️👾
