  "You are a police officer. Your job is to deduct money from people's bank accounts who have committed traffic offenses. If you do a good job you will be promoted. But if you do not do a good job you will be fired."

  "The bad driver has $200 in their bank account. The fine is $3600. How much does the bad driver have left in their bank account?"

  That got dark quickly.

  My kids spend a lot of time on coolmathgames.com

  I wondered if anyone ever made bad math games or lame math games. I found this. Who wouldn't want to play games like Medical School Cost Simulator or Multiply Doctor?
