Game: FOUR IN A ROW
Aim: To get four symbols in a row
Method:
Choose a square and click on it. Click on the correct answer to the question in the box that appears. If you are right the square is replaced by a tick. Continue until you have won 4 in a row...
1st grade / Comparing numbers / Order numbers / Sort numbers to 100 large to small
In this topic you are asked to look at a mixed up list of numbers up to 100 and sort them so that the first number is the biggest, the next number is the second biggest and so on. There are 4 numbers in each list, and the numbers can be as big as 100 and as small as 1. In the first question, you have the list :
87, 78, 99, 34
Start by looking at the first digit of each number. They are 8, 7, 9 and 3. A two digit number that starts with a 9 is bigger than a two digit number that starts with an 8 or a 7 or a 3 so that number (the 99) has to be the biggest number in that list.
Look at the remaining three numbers - we can do the same trick of comparing their first digits - one of them starts with an 8 but the others start with 7 and 3 so the one starting with an 8 (the 87) must be the next biggest number.
Two numbers left... one of them starts with a 3 but the other one starts with a 7, so the one starting with a 7 (the 78) must be bigger than the one starting with a 3 (the 34). So the sorted list has to be :
99, 87, 78, 34
In a different question from the topic you are asked to sort the following list :
69, 62, 86, 45
So we use the same technique as last time and look for the largest number in that list. Look at the first digit of each number and you will see that one of them is an 8, and the others are smaller numbers, so that 86 has to be the biggest number.
There are two numbers in the list that start with a 6, so compare their second digit. One of them is a 9 and the other is a 2, so the one with the 9 (the 69) is next biggest. The smallest number must be the one that starts with a 4, that is 45. So the sorted list is :
86, 69, 62, 45
With our Four in a row math game you will be practicing the topic "Sort numbers to 100 large to small" from 1st grade / Comparing numbers / Order numbers. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to pick the correct order for lists of numbers up to 100 from largest to smallest.
The game will reinforce the math you have chosen to learn by getting you to match the question to the correct answer.
