Our Story
On a small island in the middle of the ocean called Aster Island, there lived people peacefully together with their families. But Aster Island was unlike any other island in the world. All the people there loved to learn and try new things to help them expand their knowledge and better understand the world around them.
One day, three naughty and kooky monsters arrived at the island and were amazed by its beautiful forests and crystal clear waters. They made a plan to take over the island and send away all the people there. To do so, they wanted to make their minds weaker so that they could control them easier!
The monsters started to create problems for all the people every day, especially the children.
- Mr. Wiggles, the leader of the group, enjoyed creating havoc with his long, jiggly hands in the people’s houses and work.
- Mr. Fuzz, the second in command, usually stole precious things from people and stored them in his big, furry body.
- The last member was Miss Tiny. She was the size of a grape and the most mischievous of them all. She kept people confused all the time by mixing things up in secret.
What are we going to do?” Most people wondered and worried about this situation. The monsters were at every corner, ready to control their minds and complete their plan.
To stop the monsters, they needed to find a solution quickly. Some people traveled far and wide in search of a way to defeat the monsters. And one day, the answers finally came to them! On the tiny island of Singa, they met some brilliant Mathematical practitioners who could teach them all about Mathematics.
Sharpen your pencil and your mind, and get ready for the ride!
Once the monsters found about Peter’s plan to build the lodges, they got really afraid! If Peter succeeds, it will be hard to create problems effortlessly anymore. They had to think of something to prevent his plan. They stayed hidden for a while, observing the soldiers. Miss Tiny spotted the material the soldiers gathered to build the lodges. There were wooden pillars, nails, hammers and more. She immediately had an idea! When the soldiers finished their work for the day, they all returned to their houses. That was the perfect chance for the monsters. Miss Tiny told Mr. Fuzz to carefully remove some of the nails of each lodge and let gravity do the work. The next day, the soldiers arrived again. When they tried to enter the lodges, everything fell to the ground! Thankfully, no one got hurt, but it got Peter thinking. He calculated the ratio of nails to lodge and found that some were missing. It was definitely the work of monsters! He commanded the soldiers to create tents to stay all day and night in the lodges until they were complete. Can you help the soldiers build the triangular tents and find how many nails each lodge is missing? This is your ninth quest!

When Peter and the soldiers completed the lodges, it was Tessa’s turn to supply them with food and water. She devised a plan to transfer all the goods by using carriages. She fed all the horses and made sure they were all rested. She also arranged the boxes to fit nicely into the carriages, based on their volume and weight. This will help to maximise the space as much as possible. In the end, she knew the average boxes of each carriage and determined how many days they needed to complete their mission. When they got everything ready for their first transportation, the horses seemed really anxious. Tessa realized that something was wrong. The monsters have done it again! The carriage was too heavy for the horses. The monsters had messed up the arrangement of the boxes and made a total mess of the carriage. Can you help Tessa rearrange the boxes in the correct order and get the supplies to the lodges? This is your tenth quest!

When Gary told everyone about his idea of trapping the monsters, they all got really excited but didn’t know how to get started. Kelvin told them that there were some hidden areas on the island that weren't in the map. They could use these hidden areas to set up traps and catch the monsters by surprise and eventually capture them. But first, they had to determine the circumference of the circular traps. The circular traps when designed properly will be able to hold all the monsters inside. The Spartan warriors combined their knowledge, and with the help of the Mathematicians from Singa and with your help, they can succeed! The secret plan has just started! Can you help Gary and the citizens determine how many circular traps to create and the size of each circle? This is your eleventh quest!

The monsters were furious because of all the unsuccessful attempts to create problems for the citizens. Each time they thought of something, everyone worked together to fix it. Mr. Wiggles thought they needed to do something bigger to make the citizens of Aster Island leave. Mr. Fuzz searched his furry body well to come up with an idea. He found some brushes and paints, and his eyes sparked! When everyone went to the King’s party, the monsters found the opportunity to execute their plan. They drew on almost all the buildings on the island including the school, the hospital, Anthony’s shop, and many more. When the citizens returned home, they were surprised by the horrible paintings of the buildings! They all went to Anthony for some help to fix this problem. Anthony quickly found a solution, but they needed to work together again. When he created the shelves in his store, he understood the principles of Geometry and was certain that they would be useful in this case. He suggested creating ladders by placing the wood in perpendicular and parallel lines, and with the right angles, they could paint the buildings and make them brand new!
