Game: THE BEETLE AND THE BEE
Aim: Collect the strawberries, avoid the bees
Method:
Move the beetle with the arrow keys or by tapping the screen. When the beetle catches the strawberry, you must answer the question. If you get it right you keep the strawberry and earn points.
Your final score is based on the time taken minus health lost divided by 10.

Due to the fact that our number system is base 10, multiplying decimal numbers by powers of 10 is relatively simple. The digits of the number move around, and there are maybe zeros to add or remove, but the other digits all stay the same. Remember that when we multiply numbers by any number greater than 1 they get bigger so check this once your done.
Let's get our terms straight.
factor x factor = product
23.45 x 100 = 2345
So for the sum 23.45 x 100 = 2345,
When we multiply by 10 the product is 10x bigger than the initial factor.
When we multiply by 1000 the product is 1000x bigger than the factor.
Note that in the example above, the decimal point of the product is not written down because the product is an integer.
Write the digital factor to be multiplied by a power of 10 down. Keep the digital point still and move all the digits of the digital factor to the left around it. If we are multipling by 10, all the digits move 1 column to the left. If we are multipling by 100, all the digits will move 2 columns to the left, and for multipling by 1000, it is 3 columns.
7.438 x 10 = 74.38
7.438 x 100 = 743.8
7.438 x 1000 = 7438
Another method is to keep the digits of the decimal number static and move the decimal point to the right. If the factor is 100 move it two places to the right, one for each of the zeros in 100. If you are not writing numbers down, this can be an easier method to visualise in your head.
0.0671 x 10 = 0.671
0.0671 x 100 = 6.71
0.0671 x 1000 = 67.1
Multiplying by a number greater than 1? Then product should be bigger than the original number!
Remember too that multiplying and dividing are inverse operations so you can always check a multiplication by dividing the product by whatever power of 10 you multiplied by and make sure you get the original value returned.
0.0671 x 100 = 6.71
6.71 ÷ 100 = 0.0671
With our The beetle and the bee math game you will be practicing the topic "Multiply decimals by 10 100 1000" from 6th grade / Number / Decimals / Decimals. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to multiply by powers of 10 up to 1000 by moving the digits the correct number of columns to the left.
Fast moving interactive game to learn math where you control the beetle and the bee moves randomly about the screen. The bee should be avoided and the strawberries collected by answering math questions from the topic you have selected - this is learning math for fun!
