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
7th grade / Number / Powers & Roots / Squares and cubes / Calculate square roots
To calculate the square root of a number, we need to find a number which when multiplied by itself gives the original number. The square root of a number is denoted by the symbol √.
For example: √9 = 3 because 3 x 3 = 9
To calculate the square root of a number using a calculator, we can simply enter the number and press the square root button (√). For example, to calculate the square root of 16, we can enter 16 and press the square root button to get the answer 4.
Sometimes we need to find the nearest integer to the square root of a number because the answer is not an integer. For example, the square root of 17 is approximately 4.12, so the nearest integer to the square root of 17 is 4. Here are some more examples:
Square root of 25 is √25 = 5
Square root of 121 is √121 = 11
√50 = ~7.07 which is 7 to the nearest integer
√150 = ~12.25 which is 12 to the nearest integer
√120 = ~10.95 which is 11 to the nearest integer
In this topic you are asked to calculate the square root or the nearest integer to the square root for numbers up to 300.
With our Mix and match math game you will be practicing the topic "Calculate square roots" from 7th grade / Number / Powers & Roots / Powers & Roots. The math in this game consists of 22 questions that ask you to calculate the square root or nearest integer to the square root for the given numbers.
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?
