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 / Shapes / Properties of 2-D shapes / Identify properties of 2-D shapes
Many regular 2D shapes can be characterized in terms of the length and number of sides, number and size of angles and number of lines of symmetry.
For instance, if we look at a rectangle we have a shape that has 2 pairs of equal length sides, 4 equal angles of 90 degrees and 2 lines of symmetry.
A square has 4 equal length sides, 4 equal angles that are 90° degrees and 4 lines of symmetry.
Question 3 of this topic shows an equilateral triangle. So we have a shape with 3 sides, 3 equal angles and 3 lines of symmetry.
A parallelogram has 2 pairs of equal length sides, 2 pairs of equal angles that are not 90° degrees and 0 lines of symmetry.
A rhombus has 4 equal length sides, 4 equal angles that are not 90° degrees and 2 lines of symmetry.
A kite has 2 pairs of equal length sides, 1 pair of equal angles that are not 90° degrees and 1 line of symmetry.
In this topic you are given a shape and have to decide which of the 4 lists of properties applies to it. The shapes that are covered include square, rectangle, different types of triangle, rhombus, parallelogram, kite, pentagon, hexagon, etc.
With our Mix and match math game you will be practicing the topic "Identify properties of 2-D shapes" from 3rd grade / Shapes / Properties of 2-D shapes. The math in this game consists of 24 questions that ask you to choose the correct set of properties for the given 2-dimensional shapes.
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?
