Angry Birds = Math?

Everyone knows Angry Birds, one of the most successful applications / games.
"Players use a slingshot to launch birds at pigs stationed on or within various structures. The goal is to destroy all the pigs on the screen. If kids are that into it,  let’s change it from a mindless game to a vehicle for learning math."

Do you know that you are applying your knowledge of speed and angles when you are playing this game? It is interesting how we sometimes, unknowingly, apply our Mathematical knowledge, in areas we least expected such as games. ^_^

Some schools even used set Math questions on Angry Birds!

Mr Avery even got his students to practice measuring angles by designing their own Angry Birds levels! What an exciting lesson it had been!
