Game: ROCK FALL
Aim: Smash all the falling rocks
Method:
Click / tap on each falling rock. Answer the question in the box as quickly as you can.
There are only 4 questions in this game so it is quite short... if you can get those rocks!
Your final score is based on number of questions answered right / wrong, and the time taken.
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 2β - 1β 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, 2β - 1β 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 Rock fall 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.
ROCK FALL is based on the road traffic warning sign for falling rocks - a sign that seems a bit less useful than somebody getting up there on that cliff and actually doing something about it... Anyway, the rocks are falling and it is your job to stop them hitting the road below, or at least stopping them hitting the road below too many times and breaking it. Smash the rocks by clicking or tapping on them (not so easy in real life of course) - they will turn into snowflakes and float gently down into nothing.
There are 4 rocks to stop and not much time to do it (if you want to get a good score and get on the leaderboard). This game is fun and fast and requires good reflexes and a good strategy. Plan to break the smaller rocks first if you want a good score because the rocks fall faster as the game progresses. It also helps to decide where on their path you plan to click / tap the rocks.
