Head down to the farm where students complete hands-on jobs by solving conversion questions involving millimetres and centimetres. From planting seeds to fixing fences and harvesting fruit, every correct answer gets the job done and brings the farm to life!

In this game, students practise converting between millimetres (mm) and centimetres (cm) in both directions. With values going up to 5000mm or 500cm, they’ll need to use place value knowledge and multiplication or division skills to complete each task. Whether it’s fixing the tractor or watering the crops, farm progress depends on accurate conversions!

Some jobs may require multiple steps, making this an engaging and rewarding challenge. The game continues until all farm tasks are complete, ending with a summary of everything students accomplished on the farm that day.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Convert between millimetres and centimetres in both directions
• ✅ Develop place value understanding related to metric units
• ✅ Apply multiplication and division strategies to real-world problems
• ✅ Strengthen confidence with metric conversions
• ✅ Engage in visual, practical learning through farm-based scenarios

How to Play:

1. Students are presented with conversion questions involving mm and cm.
2. Each correct answer completes part of a farm job—like planting, fixing, or harvesting.
3. Some tasks involve multiple questions to fully complete.
4. The game ends when all jobs on the farm have been finished.
5. Students receive a final summary of the tasks they completed.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Add to measurement rotations for hands-on, contextual maths practice
• 💡 Use as a calm starter or end-of-day consolidation activity
• 💡 Great for Year 3–5 students needing conversion revision
• 💡 Follow up with practical tasks using rulers or measuring tapes

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Send the QR code home for students to play as a homework or revision task
• 💛 Let students personalise their experience by choosing from six characters before the game begins
• 💛 Select the number of players or teams at the start of the game to suit individual, paired, or group play

Let’s Farm – Converting Between Millimetres & Centimetres brings measurement to life through interactive play, teamwork, and hands-on farmyard fun!
