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 / Shapes / Properties of 2-D shapes / Most vertices
Regular 2D geometric shapes apart from the ovals have a certain number of vertices that are part of their definitions. The vertices of a shape are the points where two or more line segments meet or intersect. In other words, a vertex is a corner or point where the edges of a shape come together. You can easily count the number of vertices a certain shape has.
All quadrilaterals (shapes with 4 sides) have 4 vertices. So squares, rectangles, kites, rhombuses, parallelograms, trapezoids all have 4 vertices.
Triangle: All triangles have 3 vertices.
Pentagon: A pentagon has five vertices (each corner is a vertex). Additional sides mean additional vertices, so hexagons have 6 vertices, heptagons have 7 and so on.
In this topic you are given diagrams of pairs of shapes and must decide which of the shapes has more vertices. The shapes include square, rectangle, other quadrialaterals (kite, rhombus, trapezoid, etc.), various types of triangle, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, etc.
With our UXO math game you will be practicing the topic "Most vertices" from 5th grade / Shapes / Properties of 2-D shapes. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to for each pair of shapes, identify which one has the greater number of vertices.
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.
