Visit the robot factory where you will mix and match various body parts to build a robot.

In this fun and interactive digital game, students practise converting between units of time including days, hours, minutes and seconds. Each correct answer earns a new robot part to add to their unique creation. As they work through the series of questions, students build fluency and confidence with time conversions - while building a one-of-a-kind robot along the way!

Who will create the ultimate robot and master time conversion skills?

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Convert between units of time including days, hours, minutes and seconds
• ✅ Understand the relationships between different units of time
• ✅ Develop fluency and accuracy when performing time conversions
• ✅ Strengthen number sense and reasoning through real-world time problems
• ✅ Engage in independent or collaborative learning through interactive play

How to Play:

1. Students read each time conversion question and select the correct answer.
2. Each correct answer unlocks a new robot part to add to their custom-built creation.
3. Once they have completed their robot, students can watch their finished creation celebrate their success!
4. Replay the game to build different robots and reinforce learning.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Use it as a whole-class game on the interactive whiteboard during time conversion lessons
• 💡 Encourage students to play independently by scanning the QR code - great for devices during maths rotations
• 💡 Pair with hands-on measurement tasks involving real-life time conversions
• 💡 Replay the game regularly to build fluency and deepen understanding of time relationships

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Let students personalise their experience by choosing from six robot 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 play as a homework or revision task

Let’s Build – Match the Unit of Time makes time conversion practise fun, interactive and purposeful - while giving students a chance to flex their creativity and celebrate their learning!
