Equations is a game of creative mathematics where students attempt to balance equations by finding a solution expression that will equal a set goal expression. The students are bound by special rules called "variations." Students choose three variations per match where they will face two students from other schools. The variation choices may be as easy as allowing a zero to be any number or they may be extremely difficult and require the students to solve the problem in a different base (for example Base 8 or Base 11 instead of our normal Base 10.)
