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
8th grade / Statistics / Discrete data / Discrete data / Primary vs secondary data
Data can be divided into two types, "primary data" and "secondary data".
Primary data is data that you have generated yourself by doing surveys, experiments, recording values in a systematic way. Primary data is the raw data that you gather based on your own definition of the question you want to answer and how to go about answering it.
Secondary data is data from other sources such as books, journals or online articles. Secondary data was initially compilled by someone else as primary data, but when you use that data it has become secondary since you did not generate that data yourself.
In this topic you are asked to decide in each instance whether the scenario described means that the data is primary or secondary. There are 6 question/answer pairs in the lessons for this topic, and an additional 10 question/answer pairs in all the games and tests.
With our Mix and match math game you will be practicing the topic "Primary vs secondary data" from 8th grade / Statistics / Discrete data / Discrete data. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to in each instance identify whether the data described is primary or secondary.
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?
