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
4th grade / Measurements / Calculate & measure / Calculate area: rectangles
To calculate the area of a rectangle, you multiply its width by its height. In this topic, the measurements are given in centimeters (cm) or meters and answers will be in square centimeters or square meter. Here's how to do it:
Identify the width and height of the rectangle: For this calculation, you need to know the width (or base) and height (or altitude) of the rectangle. These measurements are given in centimeters (cm) or meters in this topic but they can be in any unit of length.
Let's say you have a rectangle with a width of 6.7 cm and a height of 4.3 cm.
To calculate the area of the rectangle, multiply its width by its height. This will give you the area in square centimeters (cm²).
In our example, the width is 6.7 cm, and the height is 4.3 cm. So, to find the area:
Area = Width × Height
Area = 6.7 cm × 4.3 cm
Area = 28.81 cm²
So, the area of a rectangle with a width of 6.7 cm and a height of 4.3 cm is 28.81 square centimeters (28.81 cm²).
This topic asks you to calculate the area of rectangles given their width and height. Your answers should be in square centimeters (cm²) or in square meter (m²).
With our Mix and match math game you will be practicing the topic "Calculate area: rectangles" from 4th grade / Measurements / Calculate & measure. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to calculate the areas of the given rectangles using standard metric units.
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?
