Game: ROCK FALL
Aim: Smash all the falling rocks
Method:
Click / tap on each falling rock. Answer the question in the box as quickly as you can.
There are only 4 questions in this game so it is quite short... if you can get those rocks!
Your final score is based on number of questions answered right / wrong, and the time taken.
In this topic you are asked to divide numbers by 1000 without using a calculator. Because our number system is base 10, we can use simple techniques to divide by multiples of 10 like 1000. What we essentially do is shift the number to be divided three place value columns to the right.
Consider the number 7654. We know that the decimal point comes after the unit digit, so we could think of the number as 7654.000. Moving each digit of our number 7654 three places to the right past the decimal point (that stays still) gives us 7.654.
Another way of thinking about it is to keep the number static and move the decimal point - in this case three places to the left, one for each of the zeros in 1000.
You can think of dividing by a multiple of 10 as the opposite of multipying by a multiple of 10 where you would shift the target number a certain number of place value columns to the left (or move the decimal point the same number of digits to the right).
With our Rock fall math game you will be practicing the topic "Divide by 1000" from 5th grade / Division / Mental method. The math in this game consists of 24 questions that ask you to use mental calculation to divide numbers up to 900,000 by 1000.
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.
