Shipwrecked at sea, Darienne Clay, daughter of a brilliant scientist at the University of Hawaii's new biotech program, washes up on the shore of an abandoned island after the university's summer school research vessel she was on meets with disaster.

While searching the island for means of survival and escape, she stumbles upon the reason the island is abandoned. A biotech experiment used for military applications has gone awry, infecting the island with synthetic creatures, and threatens to spread into the ocean.

Darienne ultimately finds her long-lost father and, in a moment of clarity brought on by Darienne's ingenuity, her father is able to explain the past. Victorious, she returns to the mainland with renewed strength to make sure others are brought to justice.

Missions:

1-5: Virus Origin
Land on a secluded beach and break into an abandoned Research and Development Facility where you will have to bypass its security systems. Using math like prime numbers, perfect squares, and order of operations you will investigate energy readings and strap on a jet pack to fly among roots of enormous trees.
6-10: Power Source
Travel deep inside the roots of enormous trees to find the Bio Mechanical Tree's power source to shut it down and stop the spread of the Nanobots. Using math such as proportions, number lines, and adding and subtracting integers, you will cut off the Satellite's transmission link to the Island.
11-15: Nano Campus
Find out what was being tested at an old testing ground as you make your way through the mayhem of a flood to reach the Campus. Using math such as parameters, evaluating expressions, and translating phrases into expressions you will be able to activate the Power Core.
16-20: Trail Ends
The final search will lead you to explore the Canyon Research Facility and a remote observation station. Use math such as function tables, finding and plotting coordinates, and solving equations to follow the trail of Nanobots and find out what became of Darienne's father.

DimensionM is an immersive video game world that engages students in the instruction and learning of mathematics. Pre-algebra and algebra objectives are covered through a series of missions that bring math into a world that today's students understand. Students become so captivated in solving problems that they forget they're learning but they don't forget what they've learned.

My school doesn't look that far into such little things as what better math games us high school math flunkies could play during our math substitute class/ computer class. [smiley=angry]

Now if i had SOMETHING, ANYTHING that could help tutor me back to my better knowledge of math, then why am i stuck doing nothing for an hour and then play kiddie games for ever? [smiley=think]

What can i dooo??????
