He is a 9th grader who lost interest to learn. Wouldn’t do any homework, quit exams. Two
months ago, we got a thank-you letter from his teacher to thank us for our game, PaGamO,
that made Zhi-Xiang picked up the book again and enjoyed solving HW problems!

PaGamO is a fun game that allows
tens of thousands of students to
compete on the same map to get
as much land as possible!

Say you want to occupy this land…

Click on it and choose
“Attack”!

Solve the following problem:
(a + b) x (a – b) =
(1) a2 + b2
(2) a2 - b2
(3) a2 – 2ab + b2
(4) a2 – 2ab
You will then be assigned
to solve a problem.
Can be any subject: math,
science, language, and etc.

(a + b) x (a – b) =
(1) a2 + b2
(2) a2 - b2
(3) a2 – 2ab + b2
(4) a2 – 2ab
22
Solve it and submit it!

(a + b) x (a – b) =
(1) a2 + b2
(2) a2 - b2
(3) a2 – 2ab + b2
(4) a2 – 2ab

You got it right!!

Yes! You just got youself a new land!
You can develop the land from desert
to forest by solving more problems!
Or even concur other peoples’ land
by solving more problems!

We have very strong data analytic module to help student,
parents, teacher to find out the learning problem and easily fix it!
