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
5th grade / Multiply + Divide / Money and people / Share money using ratio
This topic is intended to help you learn or revise how to calculate shares of a total based on a given ratio. This type of calculation has many real-world applications like working out portions of a shopping bill or other shared cost.
So, if you have two people sharing $100 in the ratio 3:2, how do you work out what each of them gets? Add up the ratios then divide the amount by that total. That gives you the value for a ratio proportion of 1. If you want to know a ratio proportion of 3, multiply that amount by 3. For example
Bill and Ben share $100 in the ratio 3:2
Add up the ratio shares and divide the monetary amount by the total ratio shares. Then multiply by the given ratio share:
$100 ÷ 5 x 3 = $60 and $100 ÷ 5 x 2 = $40
So we can see that Bill gets $60 and Ben gets $40.
With our Mix and match math game you will be practicing the topic "Share money using ratio" from 5th grade / Multiply + Divide / Money and people. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to share out a given amount of money at a given ratio using multiplication and division.
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?
