獾老闆的動物旅館要裝潢。第 1 關房間只標長和寬,孩子沿著地板拖出一排地墊、沿著牆拖出一列地墊,看出「一排幾塊、有幾排」,推出長方形面積 = 長 × 寬,再算繞一圈的周長;第 2 關用 1 立方公分積木蓋長方體模型:拖出一排、一列,再一層層往上疊,算出體積 = 一層幾個 × 幾層,也會反過來問要疊幾層;第 3 關是反向題:知道面積和長求寬、正方形的邊長、周長一樣時哪種房間面積最大,以及只用公式算的大房間和長方體。
適合年級:四年級(約 9~10 歲)。對應 108 課綱(十二年國教)數學單元:四年級「正方形和長方形的周長與面積」和「體積和立方公分」。各版本教科書的單元順序不同,完整對照請看國小數學課綱對照表。免費、無廣告、不用註冊,手機、平板、電腦打開就能玩,題目有注音,也會念出來。
陪玩小提醒:孩子常把周長和面積搞混。可以問「這是要鋪滿地板(面積),還是沿著牆繞一圈(周長)?」,單位也不一樣:平方公尺和公尺。
Mr Badger’s animal hotel needs a makeover. In level 1 the rooms only show length and width: children drag one row of mats along the floor and one column up the wall, see “so many in a row, so many rows” and find area = length × width, plus the perimeter. In level 2 they build boxes from 1 cm³ blocks, laying a row, a column and then stacking layers to find volume = one layer × layers, and also how many layers make a given volume. Level 3 turns things round: find the width from the area, the side of a square, the biggest room for a given perimeter, and formula-only rooms and boxes.
