Estimate & Calculate LET’S EXPLORE
Description
Explore outer space and collect different objects to earn space badges as you warp between galaxies with every correct answer. Each correct response propels students further into the galaxy, encouraging them to apply their mathematical knowledge while exploring exciting cosmic scenes.
In Let’s Explore – Estimate & Calculate, students will test their estimation skills and apply mathematical knowledge to solve problems involving rational numbers, percentages and financial contexts. They will engage with a variety of practical and real-world scenarios to strengthen their problem-solving confidence.
With every correct answer, students collect space objects that contribute to their badge tally. At the end of the journey, they will see all the badges they have earned, giving them a clear sense of achievement and progress.
Key Learning Outcomes:
- ✅ Apply estimation skills to a variety of mathematical problems
- ✅ Solve problems involving rational numbers and percentages
- ✅ Interpret and work with financial contexts
- ✅ Strengthen problem-solving and reasoning abilities
- ✅ Build confidence through interactive and engaging gameplay
How to Play:
