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.
4th grade / Shapes / Properties of 2-D shapes / How many lines of symmetry
Lines of symmetry are imaginary lines that you can draw through a shape that divide the shape into two halves that are exact mirror images of each other. Different shapes have different numbers of lines of symmetry.
Square: A square has four sides of equal length and four right angles. It has four lines of symmetry - one vertical, one horizontal, and two diagonal lines. Each line of symmetry divides the square into two halves that are mirror images of each other.
Rectangle: A rectangle has two pairs of opposite sides of equal length and four right angles. It has two lines of symmetry - one vertical and one horizontal.
Triangle: The number of lines of symmetry a triangle has depends on the type of triangle it is. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length and three equal angles. It has three lines of symmetry - one vertical and two diagonal lines. An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length and two equal angles. It has one line of symmetry - the line that goes through the midpoint of the base and bisects the opposite angle. A scalene triangle has no lines of symmetry.
Kite: A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides of equal length. It has one line of symmetry - the line that goes through the midpoint of the shorter diagonal and bisects the longer diagonal.
Pentagon: A regular pentagon has five sides of equal length and five equal angles. It has five lines of symmetry - one vertical, one horizontal, and three diagonal lines. Regular shapes with more sides like hexagon and octagon have the same number of lines of symmetry as they have sides. So a regular octagon has 8 and a regular nonagon has 9.
In this topic you are given diagrams of certain shapes and must decide how many lines of symmetry they have.
With our Choose or lose math game you will be practicing the topic "How many lines of symmetry" from 4th grade / Shapes / Properties of 2-D shapes. The math in this game consists of 30 questions that ask you to identify the number of lines of symmetry for each of these named 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.
