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 / Order of operations / Order of operations: missing multiple
This topic is intended to reinforce the mutual relationship between multiplication and division. Each question starts with a number. That number is multiplied by a second number then divided by a third number. The answer is given, but the second number (the multiple) is missing and needs to be calculated. You do this by multiplying the divisor (the third number) by the answer, then dividing that by the first number.
So, in the first question from the lesson we have an equation of the form:
4 x ▢ ÷ 3 = 12
We can calculate the missing value ▢ by moving the ÷ 3 to the other side of the equation which converts it to x 3. So now we know that:
4 x ▢ = 12 x 3 = 36
We can now move the x 4 across to the other side where it becomes ÷ 4. No we have:▢ = 36 ÷ 4 = 9
So the solution is that the value of the missing multiple is 9.
With our Mix and match math game you will be practicing the topic "Order of operations: missing multiple" from 5th grade / Multiply + Divide / Order of operations. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to work back from the answer to find the missing multiple in these multiply then divide 2 step operations.
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?
