Get ready to zoom around the track in this high-energy game that makes measurement fun and fast paced. With each correct answer, students speed ahead in the race. Who will reach the podium first?

In this version of Let’s Race, students are presented with images of real-world objects and must decide if they would be measured in litres (L) or millilitres (mL). Each decision helps reinforce their understanding of capacity and encourages real-life application of metric units.

Let’s Race – Units of Measurement: Litres or Millilitres? is ideal for consolidating knowledge of liquid measurement in a playful and competitive way. Every correct answer boosts your speed, while incorrect ones slow you down - adding extra motivation to think carefully and apply knowledge accurately.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Identify when to use litres (L) or millilitres (mL) to measure capacity
• ✅ Strengthen understanding of metric units in real-world contexts
• ✅ Develop fluency and accuracy when estimating and comparing capacity
• ✅ Encourage quick thinking and visual reasoning
• ✅ Engage in interactive and competitive maths practice

How to Play:

1. Students begin by selecting their character and number of players.
2. Each turn, they’re shown an object and asked whether its capacity would be measured in litres or millilitres.
3. Correct answers speed up their car on the race track.
4. Incorrect answers slow their car down.
