Super Practica is a game and a scientific research program to optimize the reproduction of practical knowledge. We begin with arithmetic and will take it as far as we can from there.

To imagine what it might look like when complete, imagine playing a game. Just by playing it, you become skilled at it, improving at a rapid pace. It is not difficult or frustrating. Anyone can play it through to the end. When you reach the end, you can expertly apply outside the game what you have learned in the game. Then you see next to the topic you just learned many more topics you can learn the same way.

This is not only possible, but is the optimal method of learning practical knowledge, including mathematics.

In order for this game to exist, it requires scientific research, design optimization, and game development. Much work to this end has already been done, but there is still much more work to do.
