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.
8th grade / Geometry & measures / Polygons / Interior and Exterior angles / Sum of interior angles
Any polygon with more than 3 sides can be split into a series of triangles by drawing lines between corners. Since we know that the interior angles of triangles sum to 180Β°, we can calculate the sum of the interior angles of any polygon by multiplying the number of triangles it contains by 180Β°. A shorthand version of this calculation is to take 2 away from the number of sides of a polygon and multiply that number by 180Β°.
The formula for calculating the sum of interior angles of a polygon given the number of sides is:
Sum of interior angles = (N - 2) x 180Β°
(where N = Number of sides and 180Β° = sum of interior angles of a triangle)
So, for any polygon with 5 sides (pentagon), the interior angles sum to:
3 x 180Β° = 540Β°
For a polygon with 10 sides (decagon), the interior angles sum to:
8 x 180Β° = 1440Β°
For a polygon with 3 sides (triangle), the interior angles sum to:
1 x 180Β° = 180Β°
With our Rock fall math game you will be practicing the topic "Sum of interior angles" from 8th grade / Geometry & measures / Polygons / Polygons. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to calculate the sum of the interior angles for each of the given polygons.
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.
