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
8th grade / Statistics / Two variables / Scatter graphs / Using lines of best fit
Scatter graphs use points to represent values that correlate the relationship between two variables. The scatter graph will indicate the degree to which the two variables are linked or related. If the variables are linked, you will be able to draw a line of best fit. The more strongly two variables are correlated, the more closely the points will follow the line of best fit.
One of the benefits of being able to draw a line of best fit is that it enables you to predict values for one of the variables that you don't have a data point for. To do so, you must first locate the independent variable on the x-axis. Draw an imaginary vertical line from that value up to the line of best fit. To get the y-axis value, draw an imaginary horizontal line from the line of best fit to the y-axis to read off the value.
It should be stressed that these predicted values will always be approximations, just as the line of best fit is usually an approximation relative to the actual data which tends to contain more variability in it than can be accommodated by a line of best fit.
In this topic you are asked to use the provided line of best fit to predict values for the dependent variable (on the y-axis) given a value for the independent variable (on the x-axis).
With our UXO math game you will be practicing the topic "Using lines of best fit" from 8th grade / Statistics / Two variables / Two variables. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to in each instance use the given line of best fit to predict approximate values.
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.
