Equate

One of the games we picked up on that infamous garage sale-ing trip was Equate. It's something like Scrabble played with arithmetic. With a tag like "High-scoring fraction tiles motivate players to learn about fractions" I figured this'd be one we opened up, looked at, and passed along to one of the kids learning fractions that we know, but after a cut-throat game last night I think this one might stay here. I can see a whole bunch of strategy in rack management, and a bunch of ways that I need to start thinking about larger numbers differently.
It seems to adapt rather well to differing math levels, and I think it's one that'll have a reasonable amount of play value. Worth considering if you're into such games.
