Forgot the name of this breakout style wizard math game for the mac but I have a good description of the game

As a kid in 1990's around 1994 when I believe I was in the 4th grade I remember playing this cool breakout style wizard math game in school, which had a wizard holding a broom and hitting the falling balls and it was inside some castle and every once in a while after hitting many bricks in a level you would have to solve some math problems to continue.
Also I remember every time you beat a level you would get a symbol of the level you beat on the side of the game and the game would get very challenging as you beat each level.If I had to guess the name of the game I think it was called Number Wizard now I have checked for info under that name online and cant find any type of info/screen shots of the game which leads me to believe that is not the right name of this game,so please if anyone has any info about this game or the correct name of the game let me know here.

Something leads me to think that it's some mini-game as part of an edutainment game.

I really doubt it was a mini game because it had many levels and by what I remember it felt like a full game which I beat a couple of times.

watching all (Auckland) TM Mac sales, all the time. Decided against going for another iMac G4 (complete with speakers and kb) yesterday, it went for only NZ$41, now I regret it. And I've let about 3 DA's go over the last week, I already have two upstairs that I've not turned on for months.
But I'm still watching a half dozen G4's, including iMacs and a Mini. Fingers crossed they stay at a reasonable price.

One game that really reminded me of this game that I have been looking for years now while searching was wizorb, here is a trailer of the game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUh09N-EzoM offcourse the differences are huge to the math game that I am talking about on this topic but the game play is very similar. Guys I have looked for rare games before and found atleast some info on them but it really amazes me to this day after years of searching that I cannot find any pics, videos or any sort of info on this popular game that everyone in my class in the early 90's loved to play and I feel it is a classic game lost in time, too bad I cant remember either the name of the game or the company that made it. If anyone has any sort of idea or guess of what game I am talking about please feel free to write down game names which you feel could be it.
