ROCK FALL game to practice
'Total number of items' for 3rd grade

How many items in total

When you have lots of similar things you might want to know how many of those things you have in total.

That is the idea behind this topic - say you have 56 red marbles, 22 blue marbles but only 9 yellow marbles. How many marbles do you have in total? Easy right? Add up the numbers of different types of marbles to get the toal number.

56 + 22 + 9 = 87 marbles

So, this topic gives you different scenarios where a person wants to know the total number of items they have and you have to work out the answer.

With our Rock fall math game you will be practicing the topic "Total number of items" from 3rd grade / Addition / Word problems. The math in this game consists of 11 questions that ask you to use addition to find out how many items each person has in total.

Word problems: adding items and item costs

Learn how to add items and how to add the cost of multiple items

Topic titles:

  • Total number of items
  • Total cost of 2 items
  • Total cost of 3 items

Sometimes in math the problems are not given as numbers but as words and sentences. This doesn't mean that the math you have to do is different, but it does mean you have to work out first what the sum you are being asked to do is, and then work on the sum itself. In this set of topics, the questions are to do with adding up either the total number of items or the total cost of a set of 2 or 3 items.

When we want to understand math addition word problems, we need to read carefully through the text and create the sum that takes the number information out of the text and puts it in a sum. When we read the text "Logan has 30 Rich tea biscuits and 17 Digestives" we can see that the sum involves finding how many biscuits Logan has in total which we find by adding up the number of Rich tea biscuits and digestive biscuits. So the total number of biscuits is 30 + 17 which is 47.

When the sentences we are looking at involve money our addition sum will involve adding amounts of money rather than numbers of items. Given the text "Grace buys 3 pencils for 54Β’, 64Β’Β and 75Β’." we realise that we need to add the 3 amounts to come to the total that Grace has spent on pencils. Because that total is greater than 100Β’, the answer will be in both dollars and cents. Can you work out what that amount will be? Try the topic "Total cost of 3 items" to check your answer.

Large thumbnail for math game Rock fall

ROCK FALL is based on the road traffic warning sign for falling rocks - a sign that seems a bit less useful than somebody getting up there on that cliff and actually doing something about it... Anyway, the rocks are falling and it is your job to stop them hitting the road below, or at least stopping them hitting the road below too many times and breaking it. Smash the rocks by clicking or tapping on them (not so easy in real life of course) - they will turn into snowflakes and float gently down into nothing.

There are 4 rocks to stop and not much time to do it (if you want to get a good score and get on the leaderboard). This game is fun and fast and requires good reflexes and a good strategy. Plan to break the smaller rocks first if you want a good score because the rocks fall faster as the game progresses. It also helps to decide where on their path you plan to click / tap the rocks.
