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 / Statistics / Continuous data / Continuous grouped data / Grouped frequency table: midpoint
Continuous data can be represented in a "Grouped frequency table" where each class (group) covers the data points within a certain range, and the classes together cover the entire range of the data.
Grouped frequency tables are useful when there are so many raw data points that discrete values would become impossible. A limitation of continuous data is that individual data points are lost so that calculations of the mean, mode or range of the original discrete data points becomes impossible. Instead techniques have been developed to approximate these values for continuous data.
The mean of grouped continuous data can be approximated by finding the midpoint for each class multiplied by the frequency of that class and adding those values then dividing by the total frequency count of all the classes.
The midpoint is calculated by adding the highest number in a range to the lowest number and dividing by 2. So if a grouped frequency table has the classes: 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, and you are asked for the midpoint of the range 21-30, the calculation is 21 + 30 / 2 which is 25.5.
In this topic you are asked to find the midpoint for a specified class in a series of grouped frequency tables. There are 8 question/answer pairs in the lessons, and an additional 8 question/answer pairs in all the games and tests.
With our Rock fall math game you will be practicing the topic "Grouped frequency table: midpoint" from 8th grade / Statistics / Continuous data / Continuous data. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to identify the correct midpoint for the specified range in each grouped frequency table.
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.

There are rocks falling from an unstable cliff. You need to break the rocks by clicking / tapping on them...
