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 / Number / Powers & Roots / Squares and cubes / Cube roots
To calculate the cube root of a number, we need to find a number which when multiplied by itself twice (i.e., raised to the power three) gives the original number. The cube root of a number is denoted by the symbol ³√.
For example: 3 x 3 x 3 = 27 so ³√27 = 3
To calculate the cube root of a number using a calculator, we can simply enter the number and press the cube root button (³√). For example, to calculate the cube root of 64, we can enter 64 and then press the cube root button to get the answer 4. We know the answer is correct because 4 x 4 x 4 = 64. Here are some more examples:
Cube root of 8: ³√8 = 2
Cube root of 125: ³√125 = 5
Cube root of 216: ³√216 = 6
Cube root of 343: ³√343 = 7
Cube root of 512: ³√512 = 8
Cube root of 729: ³√729 = 9
Cube root of 1000: ³√1000 = 10
Most numbers do not have cube roots that are integers. Sometimes we need to find the nearest integer to the cube root of a number. For example, the cube root of 67 is approximately 4.06, so the nearest integer to the cube root of 67 is 4. Here are some more examples:
³√50 = ~3.68 which is 4 to the nearest integer
³√120 = ~4.93 which is 5 to the nearest integer
³√500 = ~7.94 which is 8 to the nearest integer
In this topic you are asked to calculate the cube root or the nearest integer to the cube root for numbers up to 1000. You will probably need a calculator when answering questions in this topic.
With our Mix and match math game you will be practicing the topic "Cube roots" from 8th grade / Number / Powers & Roots / Powers & Roots. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to identify the cube root or nearest integer cube root of each of the given 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?

There are 5 blocks that need putting away to tidy the play room. Drag (they are heavy...) the blocks to the correct boxes.
