Game: THE FROG FLIES
Aim: Help the frog catch the flies
Method:
Use keyboard arrow keys or tap your tablet/mobile to control the frog and catch the flies. Avoid the birds! Answer the math questions to win additional points.
Scoring is based on speed, flies caught and the number of correct answers.
5th grade / Shapes / Properties of 2-D shapes / Lines of symmetry
Lines of symmetry are imaginary lines that you can draw through a shape that divide the shape into two halves that are exact mirror images of each other. Different shapes have different numbers of lines of symmetry.
Square: A square has four sides of equal length and four right angles. It has four lines of symmetry - one vertical, one horizontal, and two diagonal lines. Each line of symmetry divides the square into two halves that are mirror images of each other.
Rectangle: A rectangle has two pairs of opposite sides of equal length and four right angles. It has two lines of symmetry - one vertical and one horizontal.
Triangle: The number of lines of symmetry a triangle has depends on the type of triangle it is. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length and three equal angles. It has three lines of symmetry - one vertical and two diagonal lines. An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length and two equal angles. It has one line of symmetry - the line that goes through the midpoint of the base and bisects the opposite angle. A scalene triangle has no lines of symmetry.
Kite: A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides of equal length. It has one line of symmetry - the line that goes through the midpoint of the shorter diagonal and bisects the longer diagonal.
Pentagon: A regular pentagon has five sides of equal length and five equal angles. It has five lines of symmetry - one vertical, one horizontal, and three diagonal lines. Regular shapes with more sides like hexagon and octagon have the same number of lines of symmetry as they have sides. So a regular octagon has 8 and a regular nonagon has 9.
In this topic you are given diagrams of pairs of shapes and must decide which of the shapes has more lines of symmetry. The shapes include square, rectangle, kite, various types of triangle, parallelogram, pentagon, heptagon, etc.
With our The frog flies math game you will be practicing the topic "Lines of symmetry" from 5th grade / Shapes / Properties of 2-D shapes. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to for each pair of shapes, identify which shape has more lines of symmetry.
Learn or revise math with our fun interactive game THE FROG FLIES! You are a happy hungry frog in the middle of the jungle in the middle of the night. Catch the flies for your supper (and practice math just for fun).
You can play the game on tablet/mobile or desktop computer. On handheld devices you move the frog by tapping where you want it to move to. On a computer, use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move.
Sometimes a big bird swoops through the forest catching unwary amphibians so stay alert and get out of the way of its beak!
Scoring is based on flies caught, questions answered and number of deaths by bird. Your final score is your total points minus your time in seconds.
The highest scores for each topic can be saved and seen by clicking on the star button, so get learning and get your frog's name up in lights!
