Volcanic Panic is based on the Mathematics Curriculum for Ireland and is designed to develop fluency in basic maths skills across the Number Strand, strengthening both computational skills and conceptual understanding.
Learning numeracy basics will put your child on the pathway to success with a solid maths foundation.
Volcanic Panic questions challenge the mathematical processes that students need to apply their content knowledge – this enhances reasoning skills and develops flexible problem solving strategies.
Essential topics and fun learning
- Maths content covers Number, Numeration (including Counting and Place Value), Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Fractions (including Decimals and Percentage), Ratio & Proportion, Algebra.
- Players practise number facts and problem solving skills; question types include number problems, algorithms, number quizzes, multiple choice questions and maths patterns.

For Teaching
- Variety of learning styles: Volcanic Panic caters for a variety of learning styles. Different question formats ensure topics are covered from various angles.
Maths activities have been created to help teachers assess whether students have met specific curriculum and teaching outcomes for the Numbers Strand.
User-management & record keeping: The game-save option enables multiple game sessions, networkable administration and record-keeping covering up to 2,048 users and up to 512 groups!
Custom Content: Specific maths categories or levels may be selected to drill individual players (eg Subtraction & Division). Practice one level or category of maths questions, or choose as many as you want. All categories and levels can be separately activated or deactivated.
