Sama is the only physical, screen-free product in our suite. While ProblemScape and web content teach algebra digitally, Sama gives students hands-on, tactile experience with one of algebra's most foundational concepts: what the equals sign actually means. Many families use Sama alongside our digital products for a well-rounded approach.

Sama works best for students ages 9–14 — roughly grades 3 through 8. It's ideal before or during introductory algebra, when students first encounter the equals sign in algebraic contexts. It's also great for older students who have a shaky understanding of equality.

Sama supports 2–4 players, making it perfect for siblings, family game nights, or small group play. Each round is quick (15–20 minutes), so you can play multiple rounds in one sitting.

Not at all! The game comes with clear instructions and the rules are simple to learn. The game itself teaches the concept — you don't need to explain the math beforehand. Just deal the cards and play.

Absolutely. Sama works as a supplement to any algebra curriculum — traditional, digital, or homeschool. It's specifically designed to build the conceptual understanding of equality that textbooks often skip over.
