Game: PONG
Aim: Break the bricks, score points
Method:
Use your mouse or tap in the white bar to move the paddle horizontally to bounce the ball up the screen. Answer questions when you break the white bricks, score big points with the yellow bricks.
Your final score is based on correct answers, bricks broken and time taken.
This topic focuses on number patterns where each subsequent number is obtained by doubling the previous one. These patterns, known as geometric sequences with a common ratio of 2, are easiest to understand by looking at examples. Let's start by looking at one such number pattern:
1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , _ , _ ...
What comes next? To find out, let's first look at the differences between each pair of consecutive numbers:
You can see that in each step, we multiply the previous number by 2 to get the next number in the sequence. That is because doubling a number is the same as multiplying it by 2. Now, let's use this rule to find the next number:
8 x 2 = 16
So, the next number in the pattern is 16. The sequence now looks like this:
1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , 16 , _ ...
If we do the next number in the sequence, it will be 16 x 2 which is 32,
1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , 16 , 32 ...
To recap, always remember the following steps when identifying the next number in a pattern that doubles the number each time:
This topic asks you to work out the next number in the pattern of numbers created by doubling the number each time.
With our Pong math game you will be practicing the topic "Doubling each time" from 4th grade / Pattern / Next number. The math in this game consists of 21 questions that ask you to pick the missing number in these number doubling patterns.
In our version of Pong/Breakout, there are 3 types of bricks for you to break: green bricks are worth just 2 points; yellow bricks are worth a whopping 50 points; breaking white bricks, which are worth 10 points, wins you a math question from the topic you have chosen.
You start with 5 lives. If the ball goes below the paddle, you lose a life and 200 points. The game ends when you answer all 10 questions or lose all your lives.
