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 / Subtract grams from kilograms
To subtract weights given in grams from weights given in kilograms, you first need to convert the kilograms to grams. This is because kilograms and grams are different units of mass, and you cannot directly subtract them without first converting them to the same unit. Here's how to do it:
Convert kilograms to grams: As there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram, you need to multiply the number of kilograms by 1,000 to convert it to grams.
For example, let's say you have 4 kilograms and you want to subtract 350 grams from it. To convert the 4 kilograms to grams, you would multiply by 1,000:
4 kilograms x 1,000 = 4,000 grams
Subtract the given weight in grams from the converted weight in grams:
4,000 grams - 350 grams = 3,650 grams
So, the resulting weight after subtracting 350 grams from 4 kilograms is 3,650 grams.
Another example, subtract 900 grams from 1.3 kilograms.
Converting the kilograms to grams we have 1.3 kg x 1,000 = 1300 g.
Subtracting the 900 grams we have 1,300 g - 900 g = 400 g.
So, the final weight after subtracting 900 grams from 1.3 kilograms is 400 grams.
This topic asks you to subtract a given number of grams from a weight given in kilograms. You do so by first converting the kilograms to grams. Your answers should be in grams.
With our Mix and match math game you will be practicing the topic "Subtract grams from kilograms" from 3rd grade / Measurements / Calculate. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to subtract masses by converting the given kilograms to grams and then subtracting the weights.
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?
