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 / Shapes / Properties of 2-D shapes / How many vertices and sides
Regular named 2D shapes have a set number of sides which is part of their definition. They also have a set number of vertices (corners). In this topic you are asked to identify how many sides and vertices each named shape has (circles and ovals are not thought of as having sides and certainly do not have vertices).
Quadrilaterals: All quadrilaterals have 4 sides - that is how a quadrilateral is defined. The quadrilaterals include the square, rectangle, kite, rhombus and trapezoid. By definition, all quadrilaterals also have 4 vertices.
Triangles: All triangles have 3 sides and 3 vertices.
More than 4 sides: pentagon, hexagon, etc. A pentagon has 5 sides and 5 vertices, a hexagon has 6 and 6, a septagon has 7 and 7 and an octagon has 8 sides and 8 vertices.
So the general rule is that a regular 2-dimensional shape has the same number of vertices as it has sides.
In this topic you are shown a series of diagrams of regular 2D shapes. You must give the number of sides and vertices for each shape.
With our Choose or lose math game you will be practicing the topic "How many vertices and sides" from 3rd grade / Shapes / Properties of 2-D shapes. The math in this game consists of 24 questions that ask you to count the number of vertices (corners) and sides on the given 2-D shapes.
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.
