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
2nd grade / Comparing numbers / Odds and evens 20 to 100 / Is the number odd or even?
If we count up the numbers from 1 to 10 we get a list like this:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10..
There are 2 types of numbers in that list. Half of them are "even" numbers and half of them are "odd" numbers.
We can understand the difference between odd and even numbers by thinking about pairs of things. Some things come in pairs, like socks, shoes or gloves. You need 2 of them (a pair) because you have two hands and two feet. Some numbers can make a pair, and some cannot. 2 is a pair (having 2 shoes is having a pair of shoes). Another number that makes a pair is 4, because 2 twos add together to make 4 without anything left over. The same for 6 and 8 and 10. These are the even numbers.
Other numbers can't make a pair without something left over. 3 is like that. If you try to make a pair from 3, you find that you have a pair of ones but there is one left over. This type of number is called odd. The other odd numbers in our list are 1, 5, 7 and 9.
This topic asks you to identify which numbers are odd and which are even. The numbers you will see are between 20 and 100, but it doesn't matter how big the numbers are because you only actually need to look at the last digit of the number, and decide if it is odd or even. Any number whose last digit is even is an even number. Any number whose last digit is odd is an odd number.
Here are some example questions from this topic:
Question : Is 52 odd or even? Answer : even
The answer is even because the last digit of 52 is 2 and you know that 2 is an even number.
Another example question is:
Question : Is 47 odd or even? Answer : odd
The answer is odd because the last digit of 47 is 7, and you know that 7 is an odd number.
With our Mix and match math game you will be practicing the topic "Is the number odd or even?" from 2nd grade / Comparing numbers / Odds and evens 20 to 100. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to choose whether these numbers from 20 to 100 are odd or even.
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.
