Mathopoly integrates all the mathematical concepts necessary to help kids succeed in a modern curriculum.  Everything about the game is mathematical, from the dice toss to the curriculum-based* questions.

Calculators are not needed in Mathopoly. The players can do all the calculating themselves using a pencil and paper, their money tracking card, and their own math skills. However, you can you use calculators if you wish.

Kids acquire ownership of segments (property) and complete a unit (worksheet, quiz, and test). Once they own a segment and/or unit, a fee is assessed to other players who land on the given segment. Each fee is determined by a mathematical question in the given discipline. Kids will learn at their own pace choosing their own method of play.

Mathopoly sells for $29.95(Can) or about $28.50(US), £18.25(UK). The game includes a game board, 2 dice (6-sided, 10-sided), player tokens, 100 desks (houses), 30 group tables (hotels), mental math solving cards , problem solving cards, title deed cards, money tracking card, strand question cards, protractor, ruler, answer sheets, formula sheet, and graphs.
