Visit the robot factory where maths and creativity combine! In this hands-on digital game, students earn robot parts by answering measurement questions correctly. Each correct response gives them a new body part to mix and match—bringing their robot to life, one piece at a time.

This version of the game focuses on capacity and the metric units used to measure it. Students are presented with everyday objects and asked to decide whether they would be best measured in litres (L) or millilitres (mL). This helps build a practical understanding of unit selection in real-world scenarios.

Let’s Build – Units of Measurement: Litres or Millilitres? makes maths fun and visual, supporting students as they develop reasoning skills and confidence. With each correct answer, their robot takes shape—and at the end of the game, it celebrates with a dance party!

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Identify whether an object’s capacity should be measured in litres or millilitres
• ✅ Develop an understanding of metric units of liquid measurement
• ✅ Strengthen reasoning through visual comparison and estimation
• ✅ Apply measurement concepts to everyday situations
• ✅ Engage in hands-on, interactive maths learning

How to Play:

1. Students are shown an object and asked to select litres or millilitres as the appropriate unit.
2. Each correct answer earns a robot part that gets added to their build.
3. The game continues until all questions have been answered and the robot is complete.
4. Once finished, students get to see their robot dance and celebrate their success.
5. Replay the game to build different robot combinations and reinforce learning.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Use during your measurement unit to reinforce understanding of capacity and metric units.
• 💡 Ideal for Year 2–4 students developing foundational knowledge of litres and millilitres.
• 💡 Pair with hands-on sorting activities using real classroom objects for further application.
• 💡 Include in maths rotations or use as a fast-finisher activity for independent practise.

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 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.
