Ratios To Convert Measurement Units Math Games

3 games

In this series of games, your students will learn how to use ratio reasoning to convert measurement units, and how to manipulate and transform units appropriately when multiplying or dividing quantities. The Ratios To Convert Measurement Units learning objective — based on CCSS and state standards — delivers improved student engagement and academic performance in your classroom, as demonstrated by research. This learning objective directly references 6.RP.A.3.d as written in the common core national math standards.

Scroll down for a preview of this learning objective’s games and the concepts.

Concepts Covered

Use relationships given by unit rates to correctly convert between units. Given a unit, convert to express in another unit of different sizes by setting up the ratio and cross multiplying and dividing. When setting up a ratio, the units on the top and bottom of both equivalent ratios must be consistent. Problems can be solved by multiplying or dividing the unit rate for a measure. Understand the concept of Pi as the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.

Submarine Captain Estimated Duration: 20 minutes Become the captain of a submarine, learn how to drive it through a hazardous minefield, and escape from the enemy submarine who is hunting you.

Galaxy Escape Estimated Duration: 20 minutes 10 Bright Monsters have been captured in space and they need your help to cross the galaxy jumping between platforms, finding them, and releasing them by correctly answering each question. Each monster that you release and unlock will be available to play with in the next level, in the search for the next monster. In your journey, you’ll be able to find power-ups, like ‘Double points’ and ‘Slow down’, which can be activated by finding gems, and their duration can be extended by correctly answering a question. Unlock and release the 10 different monsters and a spaceship along 10 different levels, while you make the most possible points.

Newton Pool Estimated Duration: 15 minutes The game consists of hand-crafted levels where the player controls a white ball. The goal of each level is to get the white ball to the end of the level in as few moves as possible, while racking up points by bumping golden balls into obstacles on the way! The game does not have any instructional math content, it simply has math review questions spread throughout.

Measurement Conversions using Ratios Estimated Duration: 4 minutes In this lesson, students will be able to learn how to use ratios to convert measurement units. They will understand that converting units involves setting up proportions and ensuring that units are correctly matched in the numerator and denominator. Students will practice solving these proportions by cross-multiplying and finding the missing value.
