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 / Frequency tables / Mean mode median range
Frequency tables are a way of laying out data to show the number of items there are in different categories. From frequency tables you can see what are the most and least frequent categories, and easily calculate mean, mode and range for a data set. They are also used as a source to generate more graphical representations such as bar charts, pie charts, etc.
Frequency tables make it easy to find the mode, median and range for a data set. The mean takes a little more work.
The mode is the most frequent value in a data set. To find the mode from a frequency table, find the item or category with the highest frequency.
The median is the middle value in an ordered data set. To find the position of the median value in a frequency table, add up all the frequencies in all the categories, add one more and then divide by two. This will identify the position of the median value of the data set. If the result is a decimal, the position of the median value is halfway between two frequencies.
The range is the spread of values in a data set. To find the range of data from a frequency table, take away the smallest value from the largest value.
The mean is the average value of a data set. To find the mean from a frequency table, do the following. Multiply each category by its frequency. Add these values to get the total value from all the categories. Add all the frequencies together to get the total frequencies. Now divide the total value by the total frequencies to get the mean.
In this topic you are asked to derive the mean, mode, median or range for a series of frequency tables.
There are 8 question/answer pairs in the lessons for this topic, and an additional 8 question/answer pairs in all the games and tests.
With our Mix and match math game you will be practicing the topic "Mean mode median range" from 8th grade / Statistics / Discrete data / Discrete data. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to calculate the mean, mode, median or range for the given frequency tables to 2 d.p..
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?
UXO * Duck shoot * The frog flies * Pong * Cat and mouse * The beetle and the bee
Rock fall * Four in a row * Sow grow * Choose or lose * Mix and match
There are 5 blocks that need putting away to tidy the play room. Drag (they are heavy...) the blocks to the correct boxes.
