Players have to pilot the submarine into the correct answer of a division problem, while simultaneously dodging demolitions that are being dropped from a ship above it.

Multiplication 1 - Players control a man with a jet pack in outer space and have to fly to the correct number that solves a multiplication problem, while simultaneously dodging flying saucers that are constantly flying by.

Division 2 - Players control a man who is inside a multi-floored building. Players have to run to the correct number that fills in a part of a division problem. Getting the number correct will let the man get to the next floor where he has to get the next number and so on, until he exits the top of the building when the problem is fully solved. Players have to be careful of a monster that lurks on every floor and try not to run into it.
