Description

Roll the dice and move around the board in this fun and interactive digital game focused on measuring capacity. As students journey through vibrant mini-worlds, they’ll answer a series of capacity-based questions and earn points for each correct response.


In each round, students will be shown an image of a real-world object and must determine whether it is best measured in litres (L) or millilitres (mL). The visual context helps students build real-life estimation skills while reinforcing their understanding of metric measurement units.


Let’s Roll – Units of Measurement: Litres or Millilitres? makes learning feel like an adventure, combining colourful environments, chance-based movement, and fun question prompts to help students develop meaningful capacity knowledge through repeated practise.
