Alien ships dive carrying equations like 3x + 4 = 19 — fire the x that makes both sides equal and the ship zeroes out; a wrong x bounces off showing 3·4 + 4 = 16.
Equation Squadron plays like Galaga: a formation hangs over the child's fighter and one ship at a time dives carrying an equation, from one-step x + 3 = 8 through two-step 3x + 4 = 19 to Boss ships with brackets and x on both sides. The x the child fires is substituted into the ship and the working is printed on it — 3·5 + 4 = 19 zeroes the hull, 3·4 + 4 = 16 bounces off — and the wrong cannon values are the classic slips (stopping at 3x = 15, undoing the + the wrong way, dividing before subtracting), so each miss names the slip it came from. Zeroing a Boss rescues the captured fighter for a shield and twin lasers, and three soft shields restart the sector instead of ending the run. Best for Grades 7–8.
