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
6th grade / Algebra / Algebraic notation / Algebraic notation / Count terms in expressions
In algebra a "term" is any combination of variables, exponents and constants or coefficients upon which mathematical operations such as addition or multipliation can be performed. Examples of terms are:
5q 47c -15g 6y³ -cd⁻³
Terms are most often found grouped together into expressions. Expressions are groups of terms separated by mathematical operators. Examples of expressions are:
y + 5 3y² - x 2f x 3f⁻³ 4g³ ÷ 15h⁴
Terms in an expression are separated by mathematical operators such as plus or minus. To count terms, take the number of operators and add 1. Or count the things you know are terms based on our definition above.
5p² + 3q⁵ - 8
So in the expression above we have 3 terms ( and 2 mathematical operators ).
This topic is checking that you can distinguish what makes an element in an expression a term. By asking you to count terms, we are helping to clarify what is or isn't a term in an expression. Remember that constants (numbers without variables) are also terms if they are not coefficients of variables.
a³ + 3a³ 2 terms : a³ and 3a³
5p² + 3q⁵ - 8 3 terms : 5p² and 3q⁵ and 8
With our Mix and match math game you will be practicing the topic "Count terms in expressions" from 6th grade / Algebra / Algebraic notation / Algebraic notation. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to count the number of terms in each of the given expressions.
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?
UXO * Duck shoot * The frog flies * Pong * Cat and mouse * The beetle and the bee
Rock fall * Four in a row * Sow grow * Choose or lose * Mix and match
There are 5 blocks that need putting away to tidy the play room. Drag (they are heavy...) the blocks to the correct boxes.
