I am enjoying the game, however I did notice that it appears to respect PEMDAS, or order of operations, but not the communitive property. For example, 3×7/1=21 was wrong, but that is equivalent to 7×3/1=21, which was correct. Luckily I still had tries remaining, but if I was on my last try I would have failed. As a future teacher, I would love to recommend this game to students, but I would like to see it updated to respect the communitive properties of multiplication and addition.

Was great...until I wasted 30 minutes convinced that there was no solution to one of the problems only to realize that the answer depends on the order the operations are done in and that the programmer assumed that multiplication is always done before division. All right-thinking folks know these two operations have the same order and are done sequentially from left to right (in the absence of parentheses). Define the order in the instructions or use the mathematically correct one, please!

Been putting in 9*4/12=3 and it keeps telling me that it is wrong as in it mathematically isn't correct. But it is. Edit: Having found the correct answer, I think whatever program they use for the math can't do both division and multiplication in the same line. You can do +-, or a + or - with either x or /, but not both x/. Which isn't in the rules. Either make that a rule, or make x and / in the same line possible

It is an interesting idea that I will consider, thanks for your review.
