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
Regular 2D geometric shapes apart from the ovals have a certain number of sides that are part of their definitions. You can easily count the number of sides a certain shape has. Remember that all quadrilaterals have 4 sides.
Square: A square has four sides of equal length.
Rectangle: A rectangle has two pairs of opposite sides of equal length.
Triangle: All triangles have 3 sides.
Kite: A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides of equal length.
Rhombus: A rhombus is a quadrilateral with 4 sides of equal length.
Trapezoid: a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides.
Pentagon, etc: A pentagon has 5 sides, a hexagon has 6, a septagon has 7, an octagon has 8 sides and a nonagon has 9 sides.
In this topic you are given diagrams of pairs of shapes and must decide which of the shapes has more sides. The shapes include square, rectangle, other quadrialaterals (kite, rhombus, trapezoid, etc.), various types of triangle, pentagon, heptagon, etc.
With our Mix and match math game you will be practicing the topic "Most sides" from 5th grade / Shapes / Properties of 2-D shapes. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to for each pair of shapes, identify which one has the greater number of sides.
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?
