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.
In this topic you are asked to divide numbers by 1000 without using a calculator. Because our number system is base 10, we can use simple techniques to divide by multiples of 10 like 1000. What we essentially do is shift the number to be divided three place value columns to the right.
Consider the number 7654. We know that the decimal point comes after the unit digit, so we could think of the number as 7654.000. Moving each digit of our number 7654 three places to the right past the decimal point (that stays still) gives us 7.654.
Another way of thinking about it is to keep the number static and move the decimal point - in this case three places to the left, one for each of the zeros in 1000.
You can think of dividing by a multiple of 10 as the opposite of multipying by a multiple of 10 where you would shift the target number a certain number of place value columns to the left (or move the decimal point the same number of digits to the right).
With our Choose or lose math game you will be practicing the topic "Divide by 1000" from 5th grade / Division / Mental method. The math in this game consists of 24 questions that ask you to use mental calculation to divide numbers up to 900,000 by 1000.
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.
