Set sail and dive for treasure! In this interactive digital game, students collect treasure from the bottom of the ocean floor by answering questions about units of time. Each correct answer earns them a piece of treasure - with each piece worth a different number of points.

Students will practise converting between units of time, including days, hours, minutes and seconds. The game helps develop fluency with time conversions and supports students in applying their understanding of how different time units relate to one another.
