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 / Shapes / Angle problems / Angles inside quadrilateral
A quadrilateral is a polygon with 4 vertices and 4 sides. Squares and rectangles are examples of a subset of quadrilaterals that have parallel sides.
The sum of the 4 angles inside any quadrilateral sum to 360°. You can prove this to yourself by drawing a line between either pair of opposite angles. You will have created 2 triangles and we know that the sum of the 3 angles in a triangle sum to 180°. The sum of the angles in 2 triangles therefore sum to 180 x 2 = 360°.
To calculate a missing angle inside a quadrilateral, simply take away the sum of the remaining 3 angles from 360. For example, given a quadrilateral with interior angles of 90°, 90° and 54° plus a missing angle x, we can calculate that x will be:
x = 360° - 90° - 90° - 54° = 126°
In this topic you are asked to calculate a single missing angle given the other 3 for a variety of forms of quadrilaterals. There are 6 question answer pairs in the lesson, and 16 question answer pairs in total.
With our Mix and match math game you will be practicing the topic "Angles inside quadrilateral" from 5th grade / Shapes / Angle problems. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to use the fact that angles inside a quadrilateral sum to 360° to find the missing angle X.
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?
