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.
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 ÷ ▢ = 16
We can calculate the missing value ▢ by moving the ÷ ▢ to the other side of the equation which converts it to x ▢. So now we know that:
4 x 8 = ▢ x 16
We can now move the x 16 across from the right to the other side where it becomes ÷ 16. No we have:32 ÷ 16 = ▢
So the solution is that the value of the missing divisor is 2.
With our Pong 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.
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.
