'Select types of number' for 4th grade

Select types of numbers

In this topic you are given the name of a type of number and you have to choose from the offered numbers which one is of that type.

For instance, the question might be "Negative" and you are offered the options "½", "-6", "3.5" and "890". You can see that the second answer is the only negative number in the list. The types of numbers you will be asked to distinguish are listed below.


Positive Numbers

Positive numbers are numbers greater than zero. They can be whole numbers or decimals. For example, 2, 5, and 12 are positive whole numbers, while 1.5 and 3.25 are positive decimals.


Negative Numbers

Negative numbers are numbers smaller than zero. They are written with a minus sign (-) in front of them. For example, -3, -6, and -15 are negative numbers. We can also have negative decimals, like -2.7 or -0.25.


Even Numbers

Even numbers are numbers that can be divided by 2 without leaving any remainder. In other words, they are numbers that can be split into two equal parts with nothing left over. Examples of even numbers are 2, 14, 52, 86 and 934. Notice that it is the units digit which is important in deciding if a number is even.


Odd Numbers

Odd numbers are numbers that cannot be divided by 2 without leaving a remainder. In other words, if you try to split an odd number into two equal parts, you will always have one part that is bigger than the other. Examples of odd numbers are 1, 23, 35, and 77. Again, it is the units digit that will allow you to tell if a number is odd or even.


Decimals

Decimal numbers are numbers that have a whole part and a fractional part separated by a decimal point. The fractional part represents a part of a whole. For example, 0.5 represents half, and 0.25 represents one-quarter. Decimals can be positive or negative, like 2.75 or -1.3.


Fractions

Fractions are numbers that represent a part of a whole. They are written as one number above another, separated by a horizontal or diagonal line. The number above the line is called the numerator, and the number below the line is called the denominator. For example, ½, ¾, and ⅘ are fractions.


Prime Numbers

Prime numbers are whole numbers greater than 1 that have only two factors: 1 and the number itself. In other words, prime numbers cannot be divided evenly by any other numbers except 1 and themselves. Examples of prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.


This topic gives you the names of types of numbers and asks you to choose from the options the number that is of that type.

With our Cat and mouse math game you will be practicing the topic "Select types of number" from 4th grade / Comparing numbers / Naming numbers. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to choose the number that is of the type named in the question e.g. fraction, prime, decimal, etc..

Move the cat to catch the white mice, hit the blue balloons, but avoid the red ones

Large thumbnail for math game Cat and mouse

Cat versus mouse game with added balloons for math and fun. You are the ginger cat, and your life is being made a misery by some white mice which have come into the house and are proving hard to catch. Not to mention there is a mouse house party going on and lots of balloons getting in the way of your hunting.

So you have to catch the white mice, forget about the gray mice, hit the blue balloons but avoid the red balloons, and answer math questions (you are a CLEVER cat...). If it sounds complicated and a bit frantic, that's because it is. Do your best but don't worry if you can't catch all the mice - neither can we. It's a cat's life...

How to play CAT AND MOUSE to practice
'Select types of number' for 4th grade

Free Math Games screenshot of the CAT AND MOUSE game for elementary

CAT AND MOUSE is a quirky take on the perennial enmity of ponderous predator and plucky prey. Here are the basics:

  1. Press "PLAY" on the CAT AND MOUSE settings page to open the game.
  2. You are a ginger cat overwhelmed by a serious mouse problem.
  3. Luckily your job is only to catch the white mice, not all the mice.
  4. Trouble is, they are not easy to catch and will try to avoid you.
  5. Use the arrow keys or tap the screen in the direction you want the cat to go.
  6. You will need fast reaction times to catch those white mice, and the balloons keep getting in the way.
  7. Mouse scores are 25 points for each white mouse caught, minus 5 points for each white mouse that escapes.
  8. When you do catch a white mouse, a math question will appear.
  9. Answer the math question correctly for those extra points...
  10. You get 50 points for each correct answer, but you lose 25 points for each wrong answer.
  11. Hitting blue balloons gives you extra points, but 3 hits on a balloon will burst it for that level.
  12. Hitting red balloons takes away points.
  13. Balloon scores are +5 or +10 points for blue balloons, -5 or -10 points for red balloons.
  14. This is a timed game and your final score is calculated by taking away your time in seconds from the points you have earned.
  15. If you get one of the 10 best scores you can add your name to the leaderboard for your chosen topic.
