Math Workshop is an Edutainment Game originally released by Brøderbund Software in 1994. An updated version, Math Workshop Deluxe, was released in 1997.The eponymous locale, presided over by one Poly Gonzales, has seven activities (eight in the '97 version) that teach elementary school mathematics.
This game provides examples of:
- Advanced Tech 2000: In the fraction game, you're creating music with the Fractionaire 2000.
- Difficulty Levels: Changed by pressing talking color-coded buttons, "green" for the easiest level, "orange" for medium, and "red" for hard.
- Game of Nim: One of the puzzles is a game of Nim that replaces the matchsticks with toy rockets arranged in three rows. The goal is to be the one who launches the last rocket.
- My Nayme Is: Yes, Poly's first name is spelled with one "l," as per the way it's written onscreen in the rocket game.
- The Place: Guess what the game's setting is called.
- Punny Name: Poly Gonzales is a pun on "polygon." Well, kinda.
- Updated Re-release: The '97 version changes the main screens and adds a new Mini-Game, the boiler room.
