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
To divide by 1000, all you have to do is move the decimal point three places to the left. The number gets smaller because you're splitting it into one thousand equal sized parts. Let's see how this works with some examples:
Divide 6000 by 1000
6000 has no decimal point, so let's put one in, right after the last digit: 6000.0
Now, move the decimal point three place to the left: 6000.0 becomes 6.0000
That's it: 6000 ÷ 1000 = 6
Divide 1277 by 1000
1277 has no visible decimal point, so let's put it in, right after the last digit: 1277.0
Now, move the decimal point three places to the left: 1277.0 becomes 1.2770
So 1277 ÷ 1000 = 1.277
Remember, when you divide by 1000, you are sharing the number into one thousand equal parts. That means the number gets a lot smaller. So the answer to a division by 1000 should always be a much smaller number than the starting number.
Divide 12.98 by 1000
So, move the decimal point three places to the left: 12.98 becomes 0.01298
12.98 ÷ 1000 = 0.01298
This topic asks you to calculate division by 1000 for each given number. The numbers to divide range from 1000 up to 200,000.
With our Mix and match math game you will be practicing the topic "Divide by 1000" from 4th grade / Division / Mental method. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to use mental calculations to divide numbers up to 200,000 by 1000.
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?
