Master Maths Master Maths is a shareware Maths tutor program.

The main body of this software is aimed at presenting primary school children with simple maths questions to answer. It also contains a maths game.

In the game, which can be played by 1 - 4 players the top of the screen displays the numbers 1 through to 30. On the bottom of the screen the game displays three numbers in the range 1 to 9. The player must combine these numbers together to produce an answer in the range 1 to 30. So, for example, if presented with the numbers 1 1 and 3 the player completed the sum as "1 x 1 x 3" the answer would be 3. This would result in the number 3 being removed from play.

One point is scored for every sum that results in a number being removed from play and the winner is the player who has the highest score when all numbers have been removed. [source:mobygames]
