Game: DUCK SHOOT
Aim: Shoot as many ducks as you can
Method:
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.
5th grade / Multiply + Divide / Order of operations / Order of operations: missing divisor
This topic reinforces the mutual relationship between multiplication and division - we say they are inverse operations. Each question starts with a number. That number is multiplied by a second number then divided by a third number (we call this a 2 step operation). In this topic the answer is given, but the third number (the divisor) is missing and needs to be calculated.
To calculate the divisor you need to multiply the initial number by the second number, then divide that value by the answer of the 2 step equation. What we are doing in effect is taking the missing number with its divide sign to the other side of the equation which changes the divide sign to multiply. We then move the answer with its multiply sign to the left side of the equation where it becomes divide.
So, in the first question from the lesson we have an equation of the form:
4 x 8 รท โข = 16
We can calculate the missing value โข by moving the รท โข to the other side of the equation which converts it to x โข. So now we know that:
4 x 8 = โข x 16
We can now move the x 16 across from the right to the other side where it becomes รท 16. No we have:32 รท 16 = โข
So the solution is that the value of the missing divisor is 2.
With our Duck shoot math game you will be practicing the topic "Order of operations: missing divisor" from 5th grade / Multiply + Divide / Order of operations. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to work back from the answers to find the missing divisors for each of these 2 step operations.
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.
