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
5th grade / Multiply + Divide / Money and people / Fractions of groups or money
This topic is intended to help you learn or revise how to calculate a fraction of an integer. This type of calculation has many real-world applications like working out your portion of a restaurant bill or other shared cost.
So, if you needed to calculate ⅝ of $32, you could start by working out what ⅛ of 32 is, and multiply that number by 5. So,
⅛ of 32 is equivalent to 32 / 8 = 4 and ...
5 x 4 = 20 so ...
⅝ of $32 = ( 32 ÷ 8 ) x 5 = $20
As another example, in the first question from the lesson you are asked to calculate ⅖ of 40 students. There are many ways to work this out, but one way is:
(40 x 2) ÷ 5
Since 40 is divisible by 5 we could cross-cancel first which gives us:
(8 x 2) ÷ 1
So we can see that ⅖ of 40 students is 16 students.
Use a slow game like 4 in a row to practice this topic first, then when you get into a timed game like Pong, you will have had enough practice to be able to work out the questions really fast!
With our UXO math game you will be practicing the topic "Fractions of groups or money" from 5th grade / Multiply + Divide / Money and people. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to find fractions of groups or money by first dividing or cross-cancelling and then multiplying.
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.
