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
6th grade / Number / Multiples Factors Primes / Factors / Highest common factor
To find the highest common factor (HCF) of two or more numbers, you need to find the largest factor that is common to all of the numbers. Here's how to do it:
For example, find the HCF of 12 and 16:
Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
Factors of 16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
Common factors of 12 and 16: 1, 2, 4
The common factors of 12 and 16 are 1, 2, and 4. The greatest common factor among these factors is 4. Therefore, the HCF of 12 and 16 is 4.
Here's another example. Find the HCF of 18 and 24:
Factors of 18: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
The common factors of 18 and 24 are 1, 2, 3, and 6. The greatest common factor among these factors is 6. Therefore, the HCF of 18 and 24 is 6.
It's important to note that when dealing with larger numbers, it may be more efficient to use prime factorization to find the HCF.
In this topic you are asked to find the highest common factor of sets of 2 or 3 numbers ranging between 6 and 108.
With our Mix and match math game you will be practicing the topic "Highest common factor" from 6th grade / Number / Multiples Factors Primes / Multiples Factors Primes. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to identify the Highest Common Factor (HCF) for the given sets of numbers.
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?
