Zapper is the Math Academy’s go-to training station for Blasters wanting to practice their talents at Red Alert missions. To beat this game, you must be sharp with your mind and your reflexes. Use mental math to quickly determine which asteroids are projected for collision with Spaceport, and then use your arrow keys and spacebar to stop them in their tracks. The International Spaceport could always use stronger and wiser Cadets, so make sure to complete this week’s Blaster Mission and get some extra preparation for rapidly subtracting numbers. http://budurl.me/MBGoTW15

If you are feeling like a true space cowboy and think your mental subtraction skills have what it takes to tame this big fellow, you must make sure to complete this week’s Blaster Mission! Do not forget to let us know how long you were able to stay on by posting your time in the comments below! http://budurl.me/MBGoTW13
