Give your students a fresh way to think about math — with light! Photon Paths turns arithmetic and algebra into a laser-powered puzzle adventure. Players slide the laser launcher, place mirrors on a 10×10 grid, and try to guide a beam of light to the correct answer target. Every successful shot comes from thinking through the math and the geometry of the path.

Designed for classrooms, intervention, and enrichment programs, Photon Paths blends strategy, problem solving, and math practice in one focused experience. Teachers can use it as a warm-up, a math center challenge, or a reward activity that still builds skills. Ten difficulty levels let you move from basic facts to algebraic thinking, while instant feedback helps students test ideas, adjust, and try again.

With its clean layout, colorful mirrors and targets, and optional sound and speech cues, Photon Paths keeps learners engaged and confident — whether they’re working on simple sums, multiplication facts, squares, percentages, patterns, or solving for x.
