Do you fancy testing your class on all areas of measurement in a fun way? Look no further than our Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 Measurement Conquer Maths Activity. This resource has been designed to cover all areas of measurement from year 1 up to year 6. It consists of a teacher's guide with rules on how to play the game, tips on how to use the cards and game boards, a reminder of the differentiation, a set of different game boards, the card placement mat and a tally table for each level of differentiation and maths strand.

This game is ideally played with two or three children in an adult-led activity. Children take turns to roll a die and move around the game board. They answer questions to 'conquer' a continent with extra opportunities when they land on stars. The game is won when one player conquers all continents. The question cards are differentiated across different year groups, so that you can play with different ability children. You could also play along with different maths strands with the same ability children; the options on how you use this are endless!
