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
6th grade / Algebra / Algebraic notation / Algebraic notation / Identify like & unlike terms
In algebra a "term" is any combination of variables, exponents and constants or coefficients upon which mathematical operations such as addition or multipliation can be performed. Examples of terms are:
3a 63b -23y 4x³ -ab⁻³
Terms are most often found grouped together into expressions. Expressions are groups of terms separated by mathematical operators. Examples of expressions are:
a + 5 3b² - a 2b x 3b⁻³ 4x³ ÷ 15y⁴
Like terms are terms whose base and exponent are the same. The base of the term 3b² is b and the exponent is 2. The coefficient is 3 but you can ignore the coefficient when looking for like terms. Examples of like terms are in the boxes below which all share the same base x :
x -33x ½x
Unlike terms are those whose base or base and exponent are different (ignore the coefficient when deciding). So, examples of unlike terms are:
7x -33x² 5xy
where the x is unlike x² which is unlike xy.
If terms are like terms, you can easily add or subtract them. You cannot do so with unlike terms. The following two examples show adding like terms :
a³ + 3a³ = 4a³
5p²q⁵ + 3p²q⁵ = 8p²q⁵
With our UXO math game you will be practicing the topic "Identify like & unlike terms" from 6th grade / Algebra / Algebraic notation / Algebraic notation. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to decide whether each expression consists of like terms or unlike terms.
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.
