Game: CAT AND MOUSE
Aim: Catch the white mice
Method:
Move the cat with the arrow keys or by tapping in the game area to catch the white mouse. Avoid the red balloons but hit the blue balloons.
Your final score is based on all of that plus number of questions answered right, and the time taken.
5th grade / Multiply + Divide / Money and people / Fractions of groups or money
This topic is intended to help you learn or revise how to calculate a fraction of an integer. This type of calculation has many real-world applications like working out your portion of a restaurant bill or other shared cost.
So, if you needed to calculate ⅝ of $32, you could start by working out what ⅛ of 32 is, and multiply that number by 5. So,
⅛ of 32 is equivalent to 32 / 8 = 4 and ...
5 x 4 = 20 so ...
⅝ of $32 = ( 32 ÷ 8 ) x 5 = $20
As another example, in the first question from the lesson you are asked to calculate ⅖ of 40 students. There are many ways to work this out, but one way is:
(40 x 2) ÷ 5
Since 40 is divisible by 5 we could cross-cancel first which gives us:
(8 x 2) ÷ 1
So we can see that ⅖ of 40 students is 16 students.
Use a slow game like 4 in a row to practice this topic first, then when you get into a timed game like Pong, you will have had enough practice to be able to work out the questions really fast!
With our Cat and mouse math game you will be practicing the topic "Fractions of groups or money" from 5th grade / Multiply + Divide / Money and people. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to find fractions of groups or money by first dividing or cross-cancelling and then multiplying.
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...
