The '''''Blaster Learning System''''' is an [[educational video game]] series created by [[Davidson & Associates]] and later published by [[JumpStart Games|JumpStart]] (formerly Knowledge Adventure) after the two companies were acquired and merged by [[CUC Software]]. The games primarily focused on mathematics, later expanding into [[language arts]] and science, and spawned an animated children's television series in 1999 called ''[[Blaster's Universe]]''.

Starting in 2011, development of the series focused on an online version of ''Math Blaster'' played through a browser or mobile app rather than standalone game software.<ref>{{cite web |title=Cool Math Games for Kids - Online Math Games – Math Blaster |url=http://www.mathblaster.com/Default.aspx |access-date=31 March 2024 |date=30 September 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110930045237/http://www.mathblaster.com/Default.aspx |archive-date=2011-09-30}}</ref> JumpStart Games ended the support for ''Math Blaster'' and was closed in July 2023.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Adaptive Curriculum Games for Kids - Activities & Worksheets - JumpStart |url=https://www.jumpstart.com/ |access-date=2023-06-15 |website=www.jumpstart.com}}</ref>
