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
In this topic you are asked to look at a series of numbers from the Triangular numbers series and fill in the missing number.
Triangular numbers are a sequence of numbers that can be arranged in the shape of a triangle. The first triangular number is 1, the second is 3, the third is 6, the fourth is 10, and so on.
To understand how these numbers work, imagine arranging objects in the shape of a triangle.

For example, if you arrange 3 objects, you can make a triangle with one object at the top and two objects on the next row. If you arrange 6 objects, you can make a triangle with one object at the top, two objects on the second row, and three objects on the third row.
The equation for working out the nth value in the series is Tn = 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + n
Triangular numbers show up in many places in math and science, from counting the number of dots in a triangular grid to understanding the properties of certain types of molecules.
With our UXO math game you will be practicing the topic "Triangular numbers" from 5th grade / Pattern / Missing term. The math in this game consists of 17 questions that ask you to pick the missing number in these patterns of triangular numbers.
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.
