Mass Conversion Game
The Mass Conversion Game is played on two levels. The first level involves the conversion of grams to kilograms while Level 2 involves conversion of kilograms to tonnes.
Learning goals
- We are learning to convert between common metric units of length, mass and capacity, i.e. millimetres, centimetres, metres, kilometres, milligrams, grams, kilograms, tonnes, millilitres, litres, kilolitres and megalitres.
- We are learning to convert between common units of measurement for length, mass and capacity and use decimal representations of metric measurements relevant to the context of a problem, e.g. 1.25m = 125cm.
