[[File:Ss dkjr+sl.gif|thumb|The game's title screen.]] '''''Donkey Kong Jr. + Jr. Math Lesson''''' (ドンキーコングJR.+JR.算数レッスン) is a game released for the [[Famicom]] in Japan.
{{Game infobox
It is a compilation of the games ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. Math]]''. The game is not exactly a combination, but rather a "platter" of the two ''[[Donkey Kong (series)|Donkey Kong]]''-related games. Combining half of the 1- and 2-Player game modes from ''Donkey Kong Jr''. and the +-×÷ Exercise mode from ''Donkey Kong Jr''. Math, the game can cater to classic arcade excitement and arithmetic lessons directed towards the younger set. Besides the platter, nothing else seems to have changed. This game was released with a Sharp C1 TV (with built-in [[Famicom]]), and is a very rare find.
