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 / Identifying shapes / 2D shapes from lengths, angles
Many regular 2D shapes can be characterized in terms of the length and number of sides plus information on the angles of their vertices.
For instance, say we have a shape that has 4 equal length sides and 4 equal angles of 90 degrees. Given that it has 4 angles of 90° it must be a regular quadrilateral. Knowing that it has 4 equal length sides we can deduce that it is a square.
If you have a shape with 3 sides of unequal length and 3 angles that add up to 180 degrees, you know immediately that it has to be a triangle (internal angles of triangles add up to 180°). The fact that the sides are of unequal length means it cannot be an equilateral triangle (which has equal length sides) or an isosceles triangle (which has 2 sides the same length) so we know it must be a scalene triangle.
In this topic you are given as question a description of a shape in terms of it's sides and angles. You have to decide which shape that description applies to. The shapes that are covered include square, rectangle, different types of triangle, rhombus, parallelogram, kite, pentagon, hexagon, etc.
With our Mix and match math game you will be practicing the topic "2D shapes from lengths, angles" from 5th grade / Shapes / Identifying shapes. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to for each set of lengths and angles identify the correct 2D shape that is described.
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?
