Game: CHOOSE OR LOSE
Aim: Choose the right answer; beat the clock
Method:
You start the game with 50 points. Each question has 2 to 4 answers. Select the correct answer before your time runs out to score points. Right answers are +10, wrong answers are -2, out of time is -5.
This is a timed game. Your final score is equal to the total score minus time taken.
6th grade / Number / Decimals / Scaling decimals / Divide decimals by 10 100 1000
Due to the fact that our number system is base 10, dividing 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 divide numbers by any number greater than 1 they get smaller so check this once your done.
Let's get our terms straight.
dividend ÷ divisor = quotient
237.4567 ÷ 1000 = 0.2374567
So for the sum 237.4567 ÷ 1000 = 0.2374567,
When the divisor is 10 the quotient is 10x smaller than the dividend. When the divisor is 1000 the quotient is 1000x smaller than the dividend.
Write the number to be divided down. Keep the digital point still and move all the digits of the number to be divided to the right relative to it. If we are dividing by 10, all the digits move 1 place. If we are dividing by 100, all the digits will move 2 spaces, and for dividing by 1000, it is 3 digits.
237.4 ÷ 10 = 23.74
237.4 ÷ 100 = 2.374
237.4 ÷ 1000 = 0.2374
Another way of thinking about it is to keep the number static and move the decimal point - when the divisor is 1000 by three places to the left, one for each of the zeros in 1000.
Dividing by 10 is the same as multiplying by the inverse of 10 which is 1/10 or 0.1, and dividing by 100 is the same as multiplying by it's inverse 1/100 or 0.01.
With our Choose or lose math game you will be practicing the topic "Divide decimals by 10 100 1000" from 6th grade / Number / Decimals / Decimals. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to divide by powers of 10 up to 1000 by moving the digits the correct number of columns to the right.
Our CHOOSE OR LOSE game is a simple activity to help secondary math learners and will improve the speed at which you can solve problems in the given topic. It does not rely on the learner typing in the answer. Rather, the learner must choose the correct answer from a list of 2, 3 or 4 similar answers.
CHOOSE OR LOSE encourages faster problem-solving for common and vital secondary math topics. CHOOSE OR LOSE is a timed game with a leaderboard for each topic at each of the 4 levels on offer. You can play the game with or without audio and robots.
