Measurement Conversions Made Fun!

Let’s face it, sometimes there are maths concepts that are difficult to spice up enough for your students to truly enjoy. One of those concepts is measurement conversions. First of all, converting measurements is difficult, and second of all, students don’t really connect with the materials in their traditional form. That’s where we come in!

This year, we’re excited to help you improve your students’ measurement conversion skills with new, engaging, interactive games…starting with a brand new Know Your Measurement Trivia Game!

Know Your Measurement! Conversions Trivia Game

This download includes a fun trivia game designed to help your students practise their skills with converting units of time, length, capacity, and volume. It features 24 questions and a self-checking interface that allows your students to play as a whole group or independently in maths stations.

Students will experience the following concepts/types of problems throughout the game

• Converting litres to millilitres
• Converting hours to minutes
• Converting gallons to cups
• Converting gallons to quarts
• Converting weeks and days to hours
• And more!

To play, open the presentation and place it in presentation mode. Questions are ordered so that students complete one column/point value at a time. Each time they answer a question correctly, they return to the game board. Completed questions disappear from the gameboard as they are answered.
