Game: CHOOSE OR LOSE
Aim: Choose the right answer; beat the clock
Method:
You start the game with 50 points. Each question has 2 to 4 answers. Select the correct answer before your time runs out to score points. Right answers are +10, wrong answers are -2, out of time is -5.
This is a timed game. Your final score is equal to the total score minus time taken.
3rd grade / Comparing numbers / Order decimal numbers / Decimal numbers: descending
To arrange decimal numbers in descending order we need to define 2 things:
A decimal number has two parts: the whole number part and the decimal part. The whole number part comes before the decimal point, and the decimal part comes after it. For example, in the number 5.32, the whole number part is 5, and the decimal part is 32.
To arrange numbers in descending order is to arrange the numbers from biggest on the left to smallest on the right. In descending order, the numbers 3, 2, 4, 1 are 4, 3, 2, 1.
Step 1: Compare the whole numbers first. When you're trying to arrange decimal numbers, start by comparing their whole number parts. The larger the whole number, the larger the decimal number. For example, 4.1 is bigger than 3.8 because 4 is bigger than 3.
Step 2: Compare decimal parts if the whole numbers are equal. If two decimal numbers have the same whole number part, then you need to compare their decimal parts. Look at each digit in the decimal part, starting from the left, and compare them. The larger the digit, the larger the decimal number.
For example, let's compare 4.09 and 4.15: The first digits are 0 (from 4.09) and 1 (from 4.15). Since 1 is bigger than 0, 4.15 is bigger than 4.09 even though it's second digit is smaller.
Let's arrange these numbers in descending order: 3.6, 1.15, 3.45, 1.80, 2.2.
First, arrange them by whole number parts: 3.6, 3.45, 2.2, 1.15, 1.80.
Now, compare the decimal parts of numbers with the same whole number part: 1.80 is bigger than 1.15, and 3.6 is bigger than 3.45.
The correct descending order is: 3.6, 3.45, 2.2, 1.80, 1.15.
With our Choose or lose math game you will be practicing the topic "Decimal numbers: descending" from 3rd grade / Comparing numbers / Order decimal numbers. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to choose the correct descending order for these lists of 4 decimal numbers.
Our CHOOSE OR LOSE game is a simple activity to help elementary math learners and will improve the speed at which you can solve problems in the given topic. It does not rely on the learner typing in the answer. Rather, the learner must choose the correct answer from a list of 2, 3 or 4 similar answers.
CHOOSE OR LOSE encourages faster problem-solving for common and vital elementary math topics. CHOOSE OR LOSE is a timed game with a leaderboard for each topic at each of the 4 levels on offer. You can play the game with or without audio and robots.
UXO * Duck shoot * The frog flies * Pong * Cat and mouse * The beetle and the bee
Rock fall * Four in a row * Sow grow * Choose or lose * Mix and match
Our CHOOSE OR LOSE game asks the learner to click on the correct answer from a selection of possible answers before the clock runs down.
