Game: DUCK SHOOT

Use the catapult to shoot balls at the rows of ducks crossing the screen. Answer questions to win extra points.
Your final score is based on ducks hit or missed and the number of questions answered correctly.
3rd grade / Pattern / Number patterns / Subtract a number each time
This topic explores number patterns that involve subtracting the same number each time. This type of sequence of numbers is known as a descending arithmetic sequence because it changes by the same amount each time and gets smaller each time. Let's start by looking at a simple number pattern:
12 , 10 , 8 , 6 , _ , _ ...
What comes next? To find out, let's first look at the differences between each pair of numbers:
You can see that in each step, we take away 2 from the previous number to get the next number in the sequence. Now, let's use this rule to find the next number:
6 - 2 = 4
So, the next number in the pattern is 4. The sequence now looks like this:
12 , 10 , 8 , 6 , 4 , _ ...
If we do the next number in the sequence, it will be 4 - 2 which is 2,
12 , 10 , 8 , 6 , 4 , 2 ...
So always remember the following steps when identifying the next number in a pattern that subtracts the same number each time:
This topic asks you to work out the missing number in the pattern of numbers created by taking away the same number each time.
With our Duck shoot math game you will be practicing the topic "Subtract a number each time" from 3rd grade / Pattern / Number patterns. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to pick the next term when subtracting the same number each time.
DUCK SHOOT is a fun game to learn math where you attempt to knock over all the fairground ducks in each level. In the first level there are only 6 ducks but by level 10 there are 24 fast moving "quackers quacking"...
After each level, win an additional 20 points by correctly answering a math question from your selected topic. There is no timer in this game: take as long as you like to answer the math questions correctly for a best score to get you on the DUCK SHOOT leaderboard.
