Game: MIX AND MATCH
Aim: Drag question blocks to answer boxes
Method:
Drag the question block over the right answer box to tidy up the play room. Points are added and taken away automatically.
Click the answer boxes to hear the answer for each box. You must answer 5 questions correctly to complete the game
3rd grade / Comparing numbers / Time / 12 minutes slow
So, you have a clock that is running 12 minutes slow. That means it is always telling you a time that is 12 minutes earlier than the real time. So if it says the time is 4:30 PM the actual time is 12 minutes later which is 4:42 PM. Here are the steps to work out the correct time:
Step 1: Read the time on the slow clock. Look at the clock and read the time it's showing. Let's say the slow clock is showing 4:25 PM (twenty-five past four).
Step 2: Understand what it means for a clock to be slow. A clock that is "slow" means it's showing a time that's earlier than the actual, correct time. In our case, the clock is 12 minutes slow, which means it's showing a time that's 12 minutes earlier than the real time.
Step 3: Add the slow minutes. Now we need to add those extra 12 minutes to the time shown on the slow clock to find the correct time. Here's how we do it:
Start with the minutes on the slow clock: 25 minutes.
Add the 12 slow minutes: 25 + 12 = 37 minutes.
So the correct time is 4:37 PM or "twenty-three minutes to five".
This topic asks you to work out the correct time given that each clock is 12 minutes slow. The clocks are 12 hour clocks and the answers are given as words such as "thirteen minutes past seven".
With our Mix and match math game you will be practicing the topic "12 minutes slow" from 3rd grade / Comparing numbers / Time. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to if the clock is slow by exactly 12 minutes calculate the correct time.
In this game we are in a room with lots of toys - and the room needs clearing up - you need to put the play blocks back in the right boxes to tidy the room and win the game...but which is the right box for each block? Well, you can work that out by comparing the question on the block with the math answer on each of the boxes - you should drag the question block into the box whose math answer matches the picture question.
You can listen to the spoken math answer by clicking on the individual boxes. There are 5 blocks to clear up - but if you put them in the wrong boxes, there will be more... Anyway, tidy is good and practicing math is better so start now and see how you get on...
This game reinforces the math you learned or revised in the lesson by asking you to match each question to the correct answer. If you are older you may not like the childish reference to toys, but don't worry - there are other games to play, and who knows - you might like a trip down memory lane?
