Iron Battle Math Activities: Supply, Rates and Map Scale
Collect strategy-game data for budgeting, rates, percentages and distance comparisons.
What this mission is about
Iron Battle’s changing supply, unit counts and objectives create numbers with context. A player can measure how quickly resources change, compare the cost of plans and estimate distances on the map. Define the question first so play produces usable data.

Set up the mission
Challenge steps
Record starting values and three timed checkpoints.
Calculate supply gained or spent between checkpoints.
Find the percentage of the map objectives held at each checkpoint.
Estimate the map distance between headquarters and two objectives.
Compare cost per surviving unit for two recruitment choices.
Graph one value across the full operation.
Talk it through
A short explanation turns an exciting moment into a chance to organize evidence and ideas. Ask one or two questions instead of turning the whole session into a quiz.
- Which value changed steadily and which changed suddenly?
- Does holding more objectives appear alongside faster supply growth?
- What could make the apparent relationship misleading?
