Adding using 10's complements to add numbers
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Activity is divided into 3 activities - activity 1, activity 2, and activity 3.

  • Activity 1:

level 1 - find the 10's complement of the given number.
level 2 - find the 10's complement of the given number.
level 3 - find the pair of 10's complement.

  • Activity 2

level 1 - arrange the numbers by swapping them inside the parenthesis in such a way that both numbers are 10's complement of each other. (1st and 2nd should be 10's complement of each other and likewise 3rd and 4th).
level 2 - arrange the numbers by swapping them inside the parenthesis in such a way that both numbers are 10's complement of each other. (1st and 2nd should be 10's complement of each other and likewise 3rd and 4th).

  • Activity 3

- split the number in the upper container inside the parenthesis in such a way that after splitting one of the numbers provides 10's complement of the given number. Place the split numbers inside the parenthesis in the lower container.

Level 1, user selects two numbers from the pink box and places them inside the blue boxes, which are 10's complement of each other, and places them at the place of "question mark" and then clicks on the green "okay" button. If the selection of numbers is correct user moves to the next level.

Can you describe more what the image is ?

Can you please add the design for different levels here?

Same request than Hadron, it would be great to have the different mockups you did in the Description.

For level 3, 4 and 5, I think it would need to have a visual clue showing which pairs go together...
Something like this (brackets here symbolizing a rectangle container or something like that...):

[8 + 2] + [6 + 4] + [3] = 23

EDIT:
After more thinking, we could even just add some parenthesis to visualize the pairs, like:

(8 + 3) + (6 + 2) + 4 = 23

And then instructions would be something simple like "move the numbers so that each pair of parenthesis contains 10's complements".

Excellent. This minor the difficulty while totally keeping the goal in mind.

@samarthraj11 :

I see you changed mockups for activity 2 using colors for the pairs slots. This is not good, as we should never base a design only on color difference to make sure it's always usable even for colorblind people.
So please:

-For activity 2, add parenthesis to mark pairs groups instead of colors (as I explained in my previous comment)

-For activity 3, update the mockup to not rely on colors at all to see what needs to be done
And maybe also use parenthesis on the answer line to mark the pair group for the first two numbers that should be 10's complements.

Pending tasks:

  • Improve "swapping of numbers" logic in activity 2.
  • Add description in all three activities.
  • Add the function to correct the wrong answer in activity 1.
  • Addition of level 2 in activity 3.
