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 / Shapes / Properties of 2-D shapes / Most vertices
Regular 2D geometric shapes apart from the ovals have a certain number of vertices that are part of their definitions. The vertices of a shape are the points where two or more line segments meet or intersect. In other words, a vertex is a corner or point where the edges of a shape come together. You can easily count the number of vertices a certain shape has.
All quadrilaterals (shapes with 4 sides) have 4 vertices. So squares, rectangles, kites, rhombuses, parallelograms, trapezoids all have 4 vertices.
Triangle: All triangles have 3 vertices.
Pentagon: A pentagon has five vertices (each corner is a vertex). Additional sides mean additional vertices, so hexagons have 6 vertices, heptagons have 7 and so on.
In this topic you are given diagrams of pairs of shapes and must decide which of the shapes has more vertices. The shapes include square, rectangle, other quadrialaterals (kite, rhombus, trapezoid, etc.), various types of triangle, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, etc.
With our Four in a row math game you will be practicing the topic "Most vertices" from 5th grade / Shapes / Properties of 2-D shapes. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to for each pair of shapes, identify which one has the greater number of vertices.
The game will reinforce the math you have chosen to learn by getting you to match the question to the correct answer.
