PONG game to practice
'Triangular numbers' for 5th grade

Triangular numbers

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 Pong 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.

This is our version of the classic early computer game "Breakout" (itself a development of the even earlier "Pong" game - we prefer that name) where a player controls a bar that knocks a ball or puck around the screen.

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.

Notes

  1. This version of Pong is a one player game to learn or revise math
  2. Our PONG for math is a scoring game - play a few times and set a personal best score!
  3. Addictive! You may end up trying to avoid the white bricks so that you can play for longer...
