Description

Measurement Madness is a game that provides consolidation of converting centimetres to millimetres.

Curriculum Codes

Interpret unmarked and partial units when measuring and comparing attributes of length, mass, capacity, duration and temperature, using scaled and digital instruments and appropriate units

AC9M5M01 9

Choose appropriate metric units when measuring the length, mass and capacity of objects; use smaller units or a combination of units to obtain a more accurate measure

I used this game with my Year 4 students who were having trouble with converting cm to mm and vice versus. The children played the game as a warm up activity for 3 days a week - within the first week most students had a better understanding of decimals - which transferred to their work when given real life measuring tasks.
