Game: THE BEETLE AND THE BEE
Aim: Collect the strawberries, avoid the bees
Method:
Move the beetle with the arrow keys or by tapping the screen. When the beetle catches the strawberry, you must answer the question. If you get it right you keep the strawberry and earn points.
Your final score is based on the time taken minus health lost divided by 10.
8th grade / Number / Powers & Roots / Indices / Divide Indices
Indices are terms that have been raised to a power such as 5⁶ or y⁴. This means the term has been multiplied by itself that number of times.
6⁴ = 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 and y⁵ = y x y x y x y x y
So the term indice simply means a number or term raised to a power.
Indices with the same base can be divided by subtracting powers. So a³ and a⁶ have the same base "a", but x³ and y⁶ do not have the same base and cannot be simplified by subtracting powers.
To understand why dividing indices with the same base involves subtracting powers, consider x⁷ ÷ x⁴. If we expand both indices we get:
x x x x x x x x x x x x x
x x x x x x x
Since we know that x divided by x is 1, we can cancel terms top and bottom to simplify the expression leaving x x x x x.
x⁷ ÷ x⁴ = x³
So we can see that dividing x⁷ by x⁴ gives us x³. In general, you can divide indices with the same base by subtracting the powers.
If one or more of the terms is raised to a negative power, you should follow simple arithmetic rules to subtract the powers.
p⁻⁵ ÷ p³ = p⁻⁸
p⁻⁵ ÷ p⁻³ = p⁻²
If there are coefficients in front of the bases, divide the coefficients first and then subtract the powers.
15p⁵ ÷ 3p³ = 5p⁵
With our The beetle and the bee math game you will be practicing the topic "Divide Indices" from 8th grade / Number / Powers & Roots / Powers & Roots. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to divide indices with the same base by subtracting powers e.g. 6b⁵ ÷ 2b² = 3b³.
Fast moving interactive game to learn math where you control the beetle and the bee moves randomly about the screen. The bee should be avoided and the strawberries collected by answering math questions from the topic you have selected - this is learning math for fun!
