Game: ROCK FALL
Aim: Smash all the falling rocks
Method:
Click / tap on each falling rock. Answer the question in the box as quickly as you can.
There are only 4 questions in this game so it is quite short... if you can get those rocks!
Your final score is based on number of questions answered right / wrong, and the time taken.
5th grade / Algebra / Formulae: perimeter / Perimeter of compound shapes
A compound shape is a shape made up of 2 or more basic shapes that are joined together. You can think of the shape of a capital L as being a compound shape made up of 2 rectangles at right angles to each other. The procedure for calculating the perimeter of a compound shape is as follows:
For example, if a compound shape is made up of a square with sides of length 2 cm and an equilateral triangle with sides of 2 cm, it's perimeter will be:
2 cm x 4 (the square)
plus
2 cm x 3 (the triangle)
minus
2 cm (their shared side)
= 12 cm
This topic asks you calculate perimeters in terms of x where x represents some length with a given unit.
Use a slow game like 4 in a row to practice this topic first, then when you get into a timed game like Pong, you will have had enough practice to be able to work out the questions really fast!
With our Rock fall math game you will be practicing the topic "Perimeter of compound shapes" from 5th grade / Algebra / Formulae: perimeter. The math in this game consists of 12 questions that ask you to use algebra to express the total perimeter of compound shapes in terms of x.
ROCK FALL is based on the road traffic warning sign for falling rocks - a sign that seems a bit less useful than somebody getting up there on that cliff and actually doing something about it... Anyway, the rocks are falling and it is your job to stop them hitting the road below, or at least stopping them hitting the road below too many times and breaking it. Smash the rocks by clicking or tapping on them (not so easy in real life of course) - they will turn into snowflakes and float gently down into nothing.
There are 4 rocks to stop and not much time to do it (if you want to get a good score and get on the leaderboard). This game is fun and fast and requires good reflexes and a good strategy. Plan to break the smaller rocks first if you want a good score because the rocks fall faster as the game progresses. It also helps to decide where on their path you plan to click / tap the rocks.
