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
3rd grade / Measurements / Calculate / Add centimeters to meters
To add lengths measured in metres and centimetres, you need to first convert the metres to centimetres. This is because metres and centimetres are different units of measurement for length, and you cannot directly add them without first converting them to the same unit. Here's how to do it:
Convert metres to centimetres: As there are 100 centimetres in a metre, you need to multiply the number of metres by 100 to convert it to centimetres.
For example, let's say you are asked to add 2 metres and 35 centimetres. To convert the 2 metres to centimetres, you would multiply by 100:
2 metres x 100 = 200 centimetres
Now that you have the metre length in centimetres, you can add it to the other length which is already in centimetres.
In our example, we converted 2 metres to 200 centimetres, and we also have 35 centimetres. To add them together:
200 centimetres + 35 centimetres = 235 centimetres
So, the combined length of 2 metres and 35 centimetres is 235 centimetres.
Another example, add 0.9 metres and 74 centimetres.
Converting the metres to centimetres we have 0.9 m x 100 = 90 cm.
Adding the centimetres we have 90 cm + 74 cm = 164 cm.
So, the combined length of 0.9 metres and 74 centimetres is 164 centimetres.
This topic asks you to add lengths in metres and centimetres together by first converting the metres to centimetres. Your answers should be in centimetres.
With our Mix and match math game you will be practicing the topic "Add centimeters to meters" from 3rd grade / Measurements / Calculate. The math in this game consists of 18 questions that ask you to add lengths by converting meters into centimeters and then adding the measurements together.
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?
