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.
7th grade / Number / Fractions / Fraction basics / Identify equivalent fractions
There are various ways to identify pairs of fractions that are equivalent:
Simplify both fractions to their lowest terms: To do this, find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator of each fraction and divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCF. The result will be a simplified fraction that is equivalent to the original fraction.
For example, say you have two fractions, 2/4 and 3/6. The GCF of 2 and 4 is 2. Dividing numerator and denominator by 2 gives us 1/2. The GCF of 3 and 6 is 3. Dividing numerator and denominator by 3 gives us 1/2. Since the simplified fractions are the same, the original fractions (2/4 and 3/6) are equivalent.
Another method to identify equivalent fractions is to cross-multiply. To do this, multiply the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other fraction, and vice versa. If the results are the same, then the fractions are equivalent.
For example, if you have two fractions, 2/3 and 4/6, you can cross-multiply to get 2 x 6 = 12 and 4 x 3 = 12. Since the results are the same, the fractions are equivalent.
A third way to identify equivalent fractions is to convert both fractions to decimals and compare the decimals. If the decimals are the same, then the fractions are equivalent.
For example, if you have two fractions, 1/3 and 2/6, you can convert them to decimals by dividing the numerator by the denominator. 1/3 = 0.3333 and 2/6 = 0.3333. Since the decimals are the same, the fractions are equivalent.
By following these steps, you can identify pairs of fractions that are equivalent.
With our Choose or lose math game you will be practicing the topic "Identify equivalent fractions" from 7th grade / Number / Fractions / Fractions. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to identify the pairs of fractions that are equivalent.
Our CHOOSE OR LOSE game is a simple activity to help secondary 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 secondary 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.
