PONG game to practice
'Rectangles: how much bigger' for 4th grade

Compare the area of 2 rectangles and calculate the difference

To calculate the area of a rectangle, you multiply its width by its height. In this topic, you are asked to calculate the area of two rectangles and determine how much bigger the larger one is than the smaller one. To do so, you will need to calculate the area for both rectangles then subtract the smaller area from the larger. Your answer will be in units square.

Let's say you have 2 rectangles, one with dimensions of 5 m x 3 m and the other with dimensions 6 m x 4 m.

To calculate the area of the rectangles, multiply width by height.

The area of the first rectangle is:

Rectangle 1: Area = 5 m Γ— 3 m = 15 mΒ²

The area of the second rectangle is:

Rectangle 2: Area = 6 m Γ— 4 m = 24 mΒ²

The second rectangle has a bigger area than the first rectangle. The difference in area of the two rectangles is:

Difference in area = 24 mΒ² - 15 mΒ² = 9 mΒ²

So, you can see that the second rectangle has an area 9 mΒ² greater than the first rectangle.


This topic asks you to calculate the area of two rectangles and work out the difference in size. Your answers should be in square units such as square centimeters (cmΒ²) or square meters (mΒ²).

With our Pong math game you will be practicing the topic "Rectangles: how much bigger" from 4th grade / Measurements / Calculate & compare. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to compare areas of rectangles and say by how much one is bigger than the other.

This is our version of the classic early computer game "Breakout" (itself a development of the even earlier "Pong" game - we prefer that name) where a player controls a bar that knocks a ball or puck around the screen.

Large thumbnail for math game Pong

In our version of Pong/Breakout, there are 3 types of bricks for you to break: green bricks are worth just 2 points; yellow bricks are worth a whopping 50 points; breaking white bricks, which are worth 10 points, wins you a math question from the topic you have chosen.

You start with 5 lives. If the ball goes below the paddle, you lose a life and 200 points. The game ends when you answer all 10 questions or lose all your lives.

Notes

  1. This version of Pong is a one player game to learn or revise math
  2. Our PONG for math is a scoring game - play a few times and set a personal best score!
  3. Addictive! You may end up trying to avoid the white bricks so that you can play for longer...
