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
3rd grade / Shapes / Properties of 2-D shapes / How many vertices and sides
Regular named 2D shapes have a set number of sides which is part of their definition. They also have a set number of vertices (corners). In this topic you are asked to identify how many sides and vertices each named shape has (circles and ovals are not thought of as having sides and certainly do not have vertices).
Quadrilaterals: All quadrilaterals have 4 sides - that is how a quadrilateral is defined. The quadrilaterals include the square, rectangle, kite, rhombus and trapezoid. By definition, all quadrilaterals also have 4 vertices.
Triangles: All triangles have 3 sides and 3 vertices.
More than 4 sides: pentagon, hexagon, etc. A pentagon has 5 sides and 5 vertices, a hexagon has 6 and 6, a septagon has 7 and 7 and an octagon has 8 sides and 8 vertices.
So the general rule is that a regular 2-dimensional shape has the same number of vertices as it has sides.
In this topic you are shown a series of diagrams of regular 2D shapes. You must give the number of sides and vertices for each shape.
With our UXO math game you will be practicing the topic "How many vertices and sides" from 3rd grade / Shapes / Properties of 2-D shapes. The math in this game consists of 24 questions that ask you to count the number of vertices (corners) and sides on the given 2-D shapes.
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.
