Loot Pursuit is a mathematics game designed for middle school students. The free iPad game requires students to know the order of operations to complete many of the math problems in the game. The premise of the game is that students have to correctly answer mathematics problems in order to collect ancient Mayan artifacts.
One of the things that you should pass on to your students before they play Loot Pursuit is to actually read the directions on how to play the game. I skipped the directions and found myself frustrated before going back to read the directions. Students will also have to exercise some patience in the beginning levels as the problems may not appear as quickly as they want them to appear.
