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 / Shapes / Properties of 2-D shapes / Lines of symmetry
Lines of symmetry are imaginary lines that you can draw through a shape that divide the shape into two halves that are exact mirror images of each other. Different shapes have different numbers of lines of symmetry.
Square: A square has four sides of equal length and four right angles. It has four lines of symmetry - one vertical, one horizontal, and two diagonal lines. Each line of symmetry divides the square into two halves that are mirror images of each other.
Rectangle: A rectangle has two pairs of opposite sides of equal length and four right angles. It has two lines of symmetry - one vertical and one horizontal.
Triangle: The number of lines of symmetry a triangle has depends on the type of triangle it is. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length and three equal angles. It has three lines of symmetry - one vertical and two diagonal lines. An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length and two equal angles. It has one line of symmetry - the line that goes through the midpoint of the base and bisects the opposite angle. A scalene triangle has no lines of symmetry.
Kite: A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides of equal length. It has one line of symmetry - the line that goes through the midpoint of the shorter diagonal and bisects the longer diagonal.
Pentagon: A regular pentagon has five sides of equal length and five equal angles. It has five lines of symmetry - one vertical, one horizontal, and three diagonal lines. Regular shapes with more sides like hexagon and octagon have the same number of lines of symmetry as they have sides. So a regular octagon has 8 and a regular nonagon has 9.
In this topic you are given diagrams of pairs of shapes and must decide which of the shapes has more lines of symmetry. The shapes include square, rectangle, kite, various types of triangle, parallelogram, pentagon, heptagon, etc.
With our Pong math game you will be practicing the topic "Lines of symmetry" from 5th grade / Shapes / Properties of 2-D shapes. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to for each pair of shapes, identify which shape has more lines of symmetry.
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.
