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 / Order of operations / Order of operations: missing divisor
This topic reinforces the mutual relationship between multiplication and division - we say they are inverse operations. Each question starts with a number. That number is multiplied by a second number then divided by a third number (we call this a 2 step operation). In this topic the answer is given, but the third number (the divisor) is missing and needs to be calculated.
To calculate the divisor you need to multiply the initial number by the second number, then divide that value by the answer of the 2 step equation. What we are doing in effect is taking the missing number with its divide sign to the other side of the equation which changes the divide sign to multiply. We then move the answer with its multiply sign to the left side of the equation where it becomes divide.
So, in the first question from the lesson we have an equation of the form:
4 x 8 ÷ ▢ = 16
We can calculate the missing value ▢ by moving the ÷ ▢ to the other side of the equation which converts it to x ▢. So now we know that:
4 x 8 = ▢ x 16
We can now move the x 16 across from the right to the other side where it becomes ÷ 16. No we have:32 ÷ 16 = ▢
So the solution is that the value of the missing divisor is 2.
With our Cat and mouse math game you will be practicing the topic "Order of operations: missing divisor" from 5th grade / Multiply + Divide / Order of operations. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to work back from the answers to find the missing divisors for each of these 2 step operations.
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...
