    • Fill the spaces so they form a valid equation.
      • Numbers and operators must alternate to form an equation (e.g. 1 + 3 – 2 = 2)
      • Meet the necessary number of numbers and operators (marked in red) to create a valid equation.
      • The equation you create must have a correct answer.
      • Select the check button to the right once you’re done making the equation.
    • Create a full equation before the timer runs out.
    • Finish 5 different equations to clear the level.
