Game: MIX AND MATCH
Aim: Drag question blocks to answer boxes
Method:
Drag the question block over the right answer box to tidy up the play room. Points are added and taken away automatically.
Click the answer boxes to hear the answer for each box. You must answer 5 questions correctly to complete the game
1st grade / Comparing numbers / Biggest and smallest / Smallest number: 50 - 100
In this topic you are asked to look at a group of numbers and decide which number is the smallest. There are 6 numbers in each group, and each number is between 50 and 100. In the first question, you have the following group of numbers :
66, 71, 79, 86, 77, 69
Start by looking at the first digit of each number - they are 6, 7, 7, 8, 7 and 6. So, if two numbers have the same number of digits, then the number with the smaller first digit is the smaller number. We can see that we have two numbers with a 6 as the first digit, 66 and 69, and that the other numbers have bigger first digits so one of those starting with 6 has to be the smallest number in the group. Looking at the second digit, it is clear that 6 is smaller than 9 so in this group the smallest number has to be :
Smallest number = 66
In another question from the topic you are asked to find the smallest number from the following group of numbers :
63, 87, 83, 62, 80, 68
So we use the same technique as last time and look at the first digit of each number in that list. You will see that three of them have 6 as a first digit and three of them have 8, so those starting with 8 cannot be the smallest number in the group.
There are three numbers in the list that start with a 6, so compare their second digit. They are 3, 2 and 8. We know that 2 is smaller than 3 or 8 so the smallest number in the list has to be :
Smallest number = 62
With our Mix and match math game you will be practicing the topic "Smallest number: 50 - 100" from 1st grade / Comparing numbers / Biggest and smallest. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to choose the smallest of a group of numbers between 50 and 100.
In this game we are in a room with lots of toys - and the room needs clearing up - you need to put the play blocks back in the right boxes to tidy the room and win the game...but which is the right box for each block? Well, you can work that out by comparing the question on the block with the math answer on each of the boxes - you should drag the question block into the box whose math answer matches the picture question.
You can listen to the spoken math answer by clicking on the individual boxes. There are 5 blocks to clear up - but if you put them in the wrong boxes, there will be more... Anyway, tidy is good and practicing math is better so start now and see how you get on...
This game reinforces the math you learned or revised in the lesson by asking you to match each question to the correct answer. If you are older you may not like the childish reference to toys, but don't worry - there are other games to play, and who knows - you might like a trip down memory lane?
