Extracurricular Maths Class: The Starry Hour Game

Purpose: development of cognitive interest, intelligence of students, expansion of knowledge and education of the desire for their continuous improvement, formation of a sense of solidarity and healthy competition.

Game progress

Today you're gathered for the math game "Starry Hour" All the questions that will be asked are related to mathematics. We'll try to prove that mathematics is not called the "queen of science" for nothing, that it is more characterized than any other science by beauty, harmony, grace and precision.
I present to you the players:
Let's greet them!
All participants in the game are represented, now I will introduce you to its rules.

Game rules

• For each correct answer, the player receives 1 point.
• If the player answers the question, then they get a star. It will be some kind of geometric figure in our game.
• Each question is given 5 seconds to think about.
• After each round, and there are four of them, one of the players with the fewest points will be eliminated.
• The super game will be contested by the two players who reached the final.

Points will be counted...
Go for it, play it and win it!

I round Geometric figures

On the board there are drawings: rectangle, square, beam, angle, triangle, straight line (under numbers)

Questions:

• A figure whose angles are all straight and have two pairs of equal sides? (rectangle)
• What figure will come out if two beams are drawn from one point? (angle)
• What is the name of a rectangle whose sides are the same length? (square)
• What has a beginning but no end? (ray)
• Which has no length, no width, no height, and can be measured? (angle)
• What figure will you get if you continue the segment in both directions? (straight)

II round Great mathematicians

The history of mathematics goes back a long way. For centuries of existence, science has been done by people whose names we remember even now. Here are portraits of great scientists.

Questions:

• Which of these scientists helped defend their city of Syracuse from the Romans and died in the process? legend has it that when a Roman brought a sword over a scientist, he did not ask for mercy, but only exclaimed: "Don’t touch my drawings!" At the moment of death, the scientist was solving a geometric problem. (Archimedes)
• In modern times, there are over 150 known proof variants of this theorem, But for the ancient schoolboys, it was not simple, so they called it the "windmill", the "donkey bridge", and even the "flight of the wretched" What mathematician's name is this theorem? (Pythagoras)
• Musketeer. A man of wide creative interests. He has obtained profound results in philosophy, mathematics, physics, biology, medicine. In mathematics, he is known for introducing a rectangular coordinate system. Who are we talking about? (R. Descartes).
• A great mathematician of all time, who managed to summarize and systematize all the known mathematical facts in the unique book "Elements" ("Elements").Everything that is known about him is "the son of Naukritus, the son of Zekarch, known as Geometer", an old-time scientist, Greek by origin, Syrian by residence, originally from Tiri. Name this mathematician? (Euclid)
• What is the name of the first Russian woman mathematician? (Kovalevskaya)
• Which of these scientists participated in athletic competitions and was twice crowned with a laurel wreath at the Olympic Games for winning a fist fight? (Pythagoras)

III round How much is this?

On the board the numbers are: 1, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000

Questions:

• How many times is 1 km longer than 1 cm? (100,000)
• How many cc in 1 cc? (1000000)
• How many km in 1000000 mm? (1)
• How many sq.m. per 1 hectare? (10000)
• How many liters per 1 cubic meter (1000)
• How many times 1 hundred square meters is more than 1 sq.m (100)

Playing with spectators

Viewers take turns calling proverbs with numbers, the one who names the most wins.

IV round Ancient measures

On the board there are signs: pood, inch, dozen, elbow, mile, mile

{module Google_kvadrat}

Questions:

• What is the term for a measure of length equal to the length of the arm from the elbow fold to the tip of the middle finger? (elbow)

IV round of Gramotejk

In front of you is a gramoteik box My assistant will now take out a cube with a letter from it. (P, K, T, D) In 1 minute you must write as many mathematical terms as possible starting with this letter.

V round Who is bigger?

As many words as possible need to be composed of the word "arithmetic" Each letter is allowed to be used as many times as it appears in that word, i.e. the letters "a" and "and" - two times, and the rest - one at a time. Whoever names the last word - wins. 2 minutes are allotted to complete the task. Time has passed...

Possible answer options:

Wins...
The finest hour has come!
