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...
5th grade / Add + Subtract / Checking answers / Check additions using inverse operations
In this topic you are asked to select the correct inverse operation to use to check the given addition sum.
Inverse operations are pairs of operations that "undo" each other. For example, addition and subtraction are inverse operations, as are multiplication and division. To use inverse operations to check addition sums, you can perform the opposite operation to the addition, which should result in the original number you started with.
Let's say you have the addition problem: 25 + 7 and your answer is 32.
To check this problem using inverse operations, you can perform the opposite operation to addition, which is subtraction. So, you can subtract 7 from the answer to get back to the original number:
25 + 7 = 32
32 - 7 = 25
If the answer you get from subtracting the two numbers is the same as the number you started with (in this case, 25), then you know that your original addition problem was correct.
You can use inverse operations to check more complex addition problems. For example:
96 + 14 = 110
110 - 14 = 96
In each question you are given an addition equation. You are asked to choose from a selection of 3 equations the inverse equation that will confirm the addition is correct.
With our Four in a row math game you will be practicing the topic "Check additions using inverse operations" from 5th grade / Add + Subtract / Checking answers. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to choose the inverse operations that correctly check these additions.
The game will reinforce the math you have chosen to learn by getting you to match the question to the correct answer.
