Game: THE FROG FLIES
Aim: Help the frog catch the flies
Method:
Use keyboard arrow keys or tap your tablet/mobile to control the frog and catch the flies. Avoid the birds! Answer the math questions to win additional points.
Scoring is based on speed, flies caught and the number of correct answers.
8th grade / Number / Powers & Roots / Indices / Multiply indices
Indices are terms that have been raised to a power such as 5⁶ or x³ or 4y⁴. Raised to the power means the term has been multiplied by itself that number of times.
4³ = 4 x 4 x 4 and a⁵ = a x a x a x a x a
So the term indice simply means a number or term raised to a power.
In order to be able to multiply indices by adding powers, the indices must have the same base. So a³ and a⁶ have the same base "a", but x³ and y⁶ do not have the same base and cannot be simplified using the methods on this page.
To see why we can add powers to multiply indices with the same base, consider the expression a³ x a⁴. If we expand both indices we get:
(a x a x a) x (a x a x a x a) = a x a x a x a x a x a x a = a⁷
So we can see that multiplying a³ x a⁴ gives us a multiplied by itself 7 times, which you will notice is the same as adding the powers of the two terms.
a³ x a⁴ = a⁷
y⁴ x y⁴ = y⁸
If one or more of the terms is raised to a negative power, you follow the standard rules of arithmetic to compute the powers through adding and taking away.
p⁵ x p³ x p⁻³ = p⁵
p⁻⁵ x p⁴ x p⁻³ = p⁻⁴
If there are coefficients associated with the indices, multiply the coefficients first then add the powers to simplify the expression.
6y⁴ x 7y⁴ = 42y⁸
7p⁵q³ x 4p⁻³q² = 28p²q⁵
With our The frog flies math game you will be practicing the topic "Multiply indices" from 8th grade / Number / Powers & Roots / Powers & Roots. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to multiply indices with the same base by adding powers e.g. 5a³ x 6a² = 30a⁵.
Learn or revise math with our fun interactive game THE FROG FLIES! You are a happy hungry frog in the middle of the jungle in the middle of the night. Catch the flies for your supper (and practice math just for fun).
You can play the game on tablet/mobile or desktop computer. On handheld devices you move the frog by tapping where you want it to move to. On a computer, use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move.
Sometimes a big bird swoops through the forest catching unwary amphibians so stay alert and get out of the way of its beak!
Scoring is based on flies caught, questions answered and number of deaths by bird. Your final score is your total points minus your time in seconds.
The highest scores for each topic can be saved and seen by clicking on the star button, so get learning and get your frog's name up in lights!
