From site: In this maths game you have been recruited by Lissaman Industries to assist in one of their super-secret, ultra-dangerous research projects.
As the new controller of the mighty Nuclear Generator, your job is to serve scientists waiting at the Generator's outlets. Each scientist needs a certain atom, which you create by solving linear equations and then guiding 'raw' atoms through the Generator's maze of machines and tubes.
Be quick: the scientists are impatient to continue their work. Take too long to serve them and they grow annoyed and eventually storm off; let this happen too many times and you will be fired!
The ultimate aim of the project is to construct a monstrous mega-machine known only as 'The Device'. But exactly what does this strange contraption do? Play the game and find out!

A teacher looks at Algebra Meltdown.
I like what I see for how it helps kids to begin to understand what algebra is all about.
Most of my students over the last twenty years have some kind of math phobia. Algebra is the kind of math that confuses kids. Why do you have a letter in the middle of a math problem? Many kids do not understand why a letter (x) is in a math problem. thought "X" was a letter, so why are you sticking letters in the middle of an exercise in math? How do you expect us to understand something so abstract? I just figured out how to add, subtract, multiply and divide with a reminder. And now you want me to understand this? Why me, why now. I am paraphrasing what the kids tell me, if they struggle with math.
