You start the game with 50 points. Each question has 2 to 4 answers. Select the correct answer before your time runs out to score points. Right answers are +10, wrong answers are -2, out of time is -5.
This is a timed game. Your final score is equal to the total score minus time taken.
In this topic you are asked to look at a series of numbers from the Triangular numbers series and fill in the missing number.
Triangular numbers are a sequence of numbers that can be arranged in the shape of a triangle. The first triangular number is 1, the second is 3, the third is 6, the fourth is 10, and so on.
To understand how these numbers work, imagine arranging objects in the shape of a triangle.

For example, if you arrange 3 objects, you can make a triangle with one object at the top and two objects on the next row. If you arrange 6 objects, you can make a triangle with one object at the top, two objects on the second row, and three objects on the third row.
The equation for working out the nth value in the series is Tn = 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + n
Triangular numbers show up in many places in math and science, from counting the number of dots in a triangular grid to understanding the properties of certain types of molecules.
With our Choose or lose math game you will be practicing the topic "Triangular numbers" from 5th grade / Pattern / Missing term. The math in this game consists of 17 questions that ask you to pick the missing number in these patterns of triangular numbers.
Our CHOOSE OR LOSE game is a simple activity to help elementary math learners and will improve the speed at which you can solve problems in the given topic. It does not rely on the learner typing in the answer. Rather, the learner must choose the correct answer from a list of 2, 3 or 4 similar answers.
CHOOSE OR LOSE encourages faster problem-solving for common and vital elementary math topics. CHOOSE OR LOSE is a timed game with a leaderboard for each topic at each of the 4 levels on offer. You can play the game with or without audio and robots.
