'Total number of items' for 2nd grade
2nd grade / Addition / Word problems / Total number of items
With our Mix and match math game you will be practicing the topic "Total number of items" from 2nd grade / Addition / Word problems. The math in this game consists of 11 questions that ask you to use addition to find out how many items there are in total.
Word problems: adding items and item costs
Learn how to add items and how to add the cost of multiple items with the sub-category "Word problems"
3 topics:
Total number of items
Total cost of 2 items
Total cost of 3 items
Sometimes in math the sums are not given to you as numbers in columns, but as words and sentences. This doesn't mean that the math you have to do is different, but it does mean you have to work out first what the sum you are being asked to do is, and then work on the sum itself. In this set of topics, the questions are to do with adding up either the total number of items or the total cost of a set number of items.
When we want to understand math problems in sentences, we need to read carefully through the sentence and create a sum that takes the number information out of the sentence and puts it in a sum. For instance, in the sentence "Jack has 6 apples and Jill has 12 apples." we can see that the things we are interested in are the apples, and the numbers we need to sum are 6 and 12. So, to get the total number of APPLES, we add up the 6 (that Jack has) and the 12 (the number of apples that Jill has). Written as a sum this will be
6 + 12 = 18
So we can say that the number of apples that Jack and Jill have is 18.
When the sentences we are looking at involve money, we have a similar situation, but our addition sum will involve adding amounts of money rather than numbers of items. Sometimes this is easy. Say we have 2 things that cost 12 cents each. To know the total cost, we simply add the 12 twice to get 24 cents. If the 2 items cost different amounts, we can still add up those 2 amounts to get a total cost. For 3 items, the idea is the same.
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?

There are 5 blocks that need putting away to tidy the play room. Drag (they are heavy...) the blocks to the correct boxes.
- Click on "PLAY" on the settings page to start the game
- You see the first question block and 3 boxes to put it into
- On each box is a possible math answer to the question
- Click on any answer box to hear the spoken audio for that answer
- Drag the question block to the answer box where it belongs
- If you are correct, the block will stay in the box, the ball will roll and the teddy bear will do a little jump
- If you are wrong, a wrong sound will play and the question block will jump back to where it was, and you can try again
- Clear all 5 question blocks to complete the game
