Algebra Tycoon

Algebra Tycoon is a free app for both Apple and Android systems.  The object behind the game is to grow your money as fast as you can by investing it.  Your goal is to reach a worth of $1,000,000,000 or more.

You begin by investing in a bagel shop.  It shows how much you are earning constantly at the top of the screen and as you earn money you can buy another bagel shop or perhaps a Laundromat.  If you want to earn money even faster, you can test your Math Knowledge.

You click on the math lab tab to practice your math knowledge.  A new screen comes up giving you a choice of topics to practice such as evaluating expressions or rational and irrational numbers.


You are given 5 questions from the topic to answer. The more questions you get, the more money you get.  If you miss a question, it tells you why you missed it and explains it immediately so there is good feedback. It often asks some of the same questions again and again but this is not bad because it helps reinforce what you are learning.

In addition, you must answer all the questions in the section to get the most mathematical knowledge monies you can.  The questions are based on the New York regents exam but the questions of themselves are good for any Algebra student.

There are so many topics and questions that it will take a person quite a while to get all of them answered.  There were a few questions I had trouble answering because they'd been phrased differently than I'm used to.


While you are working on the questions your money is growing, you are adding to your wealth while making sure you are solid in your understanding of Algebra I topics.

The nice thing about this is that it is a game where you try to become a billionaire.  It is a nice way to practice math, while becoming rich.  It is kind of a monopoly game but you are playing against yourself.  Honestly, it is the closest I'll come to owning this much.

Check it out.  I have really enjoyed answering the math problems while watching my wealth grow to the point, I could purchase things worth several million.

Let me know what you think, I'd love to hear.  Have a great day.
