Random thought that I'm not sure is even a good thought. Tried the number pizza man game, and one mechanic which I thought may be interesting is if the distribution of values in the pizza boxes changes as time goes on. Rather than maybe skipping ahead after a while if the student doesn't get it, slowly change the randomization to include more and more, and then perhaps only exclusively, the right answer. This would allow a kid to still "get it," while still engaging them in the game mechanic.

That's actually a really good idea!

I played through two of the games twice and if I'm not mistaken, the sequence of numbers is always the same. Could they be randomized? I have a feeling children would learn the pattern and not focus on numbers.

The Dino Eggs Multiplication by 6 game has the same order each time, which might make kids remember the order instead of the multiplication facts.

Ok!! We were able to figure out a fix for randomizing one of the games. Here's an example. We just need to apply it to all the games still. Thanks for the great feedback! https://www.mindlygames.com/game/addition-within-20-space-ra...
