Kingdom Quest: The Royal Treasury
Calculations for the Crown
For the King! A kingdom cannot run on swords alone; it needs logistics. In Kingdom Quest, you play as the Royal Treasurer, tasked with managing resources for the realm.
This game engages children with multi-step word problems. It bridges the gap between knowing how to do a sum and knowing which sum to do (Addition or Subtraction?).
🛡️ Quest Logic (Problem Solving)
- Deciphering Text: Extracting the numbers from a story (e.g., "15,000 soldiers").
- Identifying Operations: Keywords like "lost", "used", or "gave away" usually mean Subtraction.
- Multi-Step Reasoning: "First I need to add these two, THEN subtract the result from the total."
