Game: UXO
Aim: Knock out the targets, avoid the bombs
Method:
Click or tap and hold to destroy the objects while avoiding the bombs. When you knock out all 10 targets, you must answer the question to continue to the next level. There is a time limit of 30 seconds to get all 10 targets or you lose 50 points.
Scoring is :
Hit target : +10
Hit bomb : -5
Right answer : +50
Wrong answers : -20
This topic focuses on a number pattern where the next number is worked out by doubling the current one (multiply it by 2). This doubling pattern is easiest to understand by looking at examples. Let's start by looking at the simplest example:
1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , _ , _ ...
What comes next? To find out, let's first make sure this pattern is a doubling pattern by looking at the differences between each pair of numbers. You may notice that we are using multiply and divide because this pattern is a geometric sequence, not an arithmetic sequence.
You can see that in each step, we multiply the previous number by 2 to get the next number in the sequence. That is because doubling a number is the same as multiplying it by 2. Now, let's use this rule to find the next number:
8 x 2 = 16
The next number in the pattern is 16. The sequence now looks like this:
1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , 16 , _ ...
If we do the next number in the sequence, it will be 16 x 2 which is 32,
1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , 16 , 32 ...
To recap, always remember the following steps when identifying the next number in a pattern that doubles the size of the number each time:
This topic asks you to work out the missing number in the pattern of numbers created by doubling the current number each time.
With our UXO math game you will be practicing the topic "Doubling each time" from 3rd grade / Pattern / Number patterns. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to pick the next number in these number doubling patterns.
UXO is a fun game to learn math where you attempt to knock over all the target objects while avoiding clicking / tapping on the bombs.
After each level, win an additional 50 points by correctly answering a math question from your selected topic. Wrong answers lose you 20 points but you can answer multiple times. Each level lasts 30 seconds: if you haven't cleared all the targets in that time, you lose 50 points. High scores can be added to the UXO leaderboards.
