Lace up your boots and begin the climb in this cooperative Digi-Game that rewards teamwork and determination. As students answer mass conversion questions correctly, they make their way up a towering mountain, with the scenery changing along the way to reflect their progress.

In this version of Let’s Hike, students convert mass from grams (g) to kilograms (kg), with values up to 10,000g. The game provides valuable practise with unit conversions, helping students develop a strong understanding of the relationship between grams and kilograms. At the end of the journey, players receive a polaroid snapshot showing how far they made it up the mountain.

Let’s Hike – Converting Grams to Kilograms is designed for Year 5–6 students and works beautifully as part of a measurement unit, maths rotation, or as a collaborative revision task.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Convert mass from grams (g) to kilograms (kg) accurately
• ✅ Understand and apply the relationship between grams and kilograms
• ✅ Solve practical conversion problems up to 10,000g
• ✅ Work cooperatively to build confidence and fluency
• ✅ Engage in interactive, goal-driven maths practise

How to Play:

1. Students answer a series of questions converting grams into kilograms.
2. Correct answers help them climb higher up the mountain trail.
3. Each stage of the mountain has different scenery and milestones.
4. As a cooperative game, all players work together to reach the summit.
5. At the end, a polaroid shows how far they made it and their team score.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Use during mass and metric conversion units in Years 5–6
• 💡 Ideal for cooperative learning or small group rotations
• 💡 Great warm-up or revision activity before a mass-focused lesson
• 💡 Pair with hands-on tasks involving scales and classroom objects

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 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
• 💛 Send the QR code home for students to revise mass conversions in a fun, interactive format
