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 / Fractions / Compare fractions / Which fractions are equivalent
A fraction is a number that compares one value (the top number or numerator) with another number (the bottom number or denominator). The fraction ½ compares the size of 1 to the size of 2 and says that 1 is half the size of 2. Other fractions can also find that the numerator is half the size of the denominator like 2/4 and 3/6. So these fractions are all equivalent because they all say that the numerator is half the size of the denominator.
If we compared the fraction ½ to the fraction ¼ we can see that they are not equivalent because the fraction ¼ says that the denominator is 4 times as big as the numerator whereas the fraction ½ says that the denominator is two times as big as the numerator.
So we can compare fractions and decide that some fractions are equivalent and some fractions are not equivalent and we do that by comparing their numerators and denominators.
With our Mix and match math game you will be practicing the topic "Which fractions are equivalent" from 2nd grade / Fractions / Compare fractions. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to decide if the pairs of fractions are equivalent / the same size.
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?
