Game: SOW GROW
Aim: To grow and gather sunflowers
Method:
Look at and listen to each math question. Click/tap on the pot that has the right answer. Expand answers if necessary using the magnifying glass buttons.
Correct answers water the seedling which grows, blooms and the flower is cut for the vase. Continue until you have collected the given number of flowers.
4th grade / Fractions / Subtract fractions / Subtract mixed fractions with borrowing
A mixed number has a whole number part and a fraction part. Sometimes when you want to subtract 2 mixed numbers, you will find that the fraction part of the second number is greater than that of the first. For instance, in the sum 2⅓ - 1⅔ the fraction part of the second number is greater than the fraction part of the first number.
So one way to solve such a sum is to borrow 1 from the first whole number (which is reduced by 1) and add it to the fraction part so that the fraction part of the first number becomes greater than the fraction part of the second number. In our example, 2⅓ - 1⅔ becomes:
Now you can subract the fraction part first, and then the whole numbers to arrive at the solution.
A different way to think about this sum (and any similar sum where the denominators of the fraction parts are the same) is to count up from the second number to the first. So in our example above, counting up from one and two thirds to two gives us one third, and then we need another third to get to the first number two and a third, so the difference between the 2 numbers is two thirds.
With our Sow grow math game you will be practicing the topic "Subtract mixed fractions with borrowing" from 4th grade / Fractions / Subtract fractions. The math in this game consists of 14 questions that ask you to use borrowing to subtract mixed fractions.
Sow grow is a gentle game that concentrates on your ability to answer math questions. The game itself is very simple to play and does not require manual dexterity or fast reaction times. You are growing sunflowers in pots on a window sill. When you answer questions correctly you get to pick a sunflower to put in the vase. When the vase is full, you have completed the game.
