QUESTION: Max has been making Valentine’s Day cards for his math blasting buddies like G.C. So far, he’s made about 35 cards, but his B.F.Fs list has exactly 100 blaster buddies on it. He doesn’t have enough supplies to make 100 cards, so he decides to give cards only to his 50 best B.F.F.s. At this point, how many more Valentine’s Day cards will Max need to make?

Submit your kid’s answer below and be sure to include their Math Blaster username. Once we see the correct answer come in, we’ll let you all know and award that blaster with the 2,000 credits grand prize.

This Enemy May Be Acute, But It’s Invading the Spaceport!

Greetings, Blaster parents!

Your Blasters have done an excellent job protecting the spaceport from invasion! But, somehow a new creature from space, the calamarink, has managed to make its way inside the Math Academy walls. We think it’s the calamarink’s incredible speed and knowledge of angles that allowed it to get through our Blaster security.

Can your kids help us take the calamarink down? Ask them to help by playing Angle Attack! In this game, they’ll have work out which angle the enemy has taken and shoot it down by typing in the correct answer. This is one sneaky creature and the 0° line will move so tell your kids to pay attention to its position.

What do your kids think of Angle Attack? Can they save the spaceport from the calamarink?

The Best B.F.F.s Feature Has Arrived!

The Blaster Corps is all about working together, so it’s no wonder that your kids’ buddy lists have gotten so long. To help them better navigate through their pals, Max has decided to introduce the Best B.F.F.s feature. Now, they won’t have to waste time searching for the B.F.F.s they consider their very best!

To get started, have your kids scroll through their buddy list and mark the Blasters they interact with most often. They’ll need to select the star icon on the right side of their buddy list to add each of their Best B.F.F.s to this new list. This will bring each of the highlighted players to the top of the Buddy list for easy access to messaging and other fun features.

So, what do you and your kids think of this buddy list update? Max loves getting feedback from Blasters like them. Have them check into their bPad InBox to learn all about it!

Get to Know the I.S.P.’s Top Blaster, Max!


Max and G.C. have been B.F.Fs for a long time!

Can you believe it? One year ago, this month, Math Blaster had just launched the virtual world at www.MathBlaster.com and now look where we are. This past year, your kids and their Blasters have seen a ton of great updates to the Space Station. From Risk it to Ice Cubed and “My Room” to Mutt Pods, which is their favorite feature?

In honor of this historic occasion, we’ve put together a few cosmically cool facts on Math Blaster’s main Blaster and commander of the I.S.P, Max!

Look how far Max has come!

1. Max has worked his way up the ranks since becoming a basic Blaster in 1987. Let your kids know that before becoming the seasoned space commander that he is, Max started out in training just like them and their Blasters!
2. Max has known G.C. since his early training days as a Blasternaut (or Blaster as we call them, today)
3. When not on adventures with the Blaster Corps, you can often find him decorating his room or caring for his mutts. He’s always looking for new decorating ideas, and looks to other Blasters for inspiration.
4. He’ll do anything to keep the Space Station safe. Just ask him and he’ll tell you that he’s never missed a Red Alert!
5. Max loves making new B.F.F.s, so be sure to tell your kids’ friends about Math Blaster. The more people we have in the Blaster Corps, the better.

Now we’ve got a quick math question for your kids – If Max began Blaster training in 1987 and is still part of the I.S.P today in 2012, how long has he been using his math skills to blast away challenges and attacks on the Space Station? With all his years with the I.S.P., Max has got some spacey stories to tell, so have your kids stop by and say hello to learn the best tips for moving up in the ranks.
