Microscope Mission: Year 5 Decimals Game
Master the world of thousandths with this interactive science lab simulation.
🧬 About the Game
Microscope Mission is designed to help Year 5 students visualise and understand decimal place value, specifically extending to thousandths. By 'zooming in' on number values, students can see the relationship between tenths, hundredths, and thousandths.
🎯 Learning Objectives
- Recognise and use thousandths and relate them to tenths, hundredths and decimal equivalents.
- Read and write decimal numbers as fractions [for example, 0.71 = 71/100].
- Recognise and use thousandths and relate them to tenths, hundredths and decimal equivalents.
🔬 How to Play
You are the lead scientist in the quantum lab. Your task is to identify the decimal value of the particles on the slide.
- Observe the Zoom: The microscope will show you a view at 10x (Tenths), 100x (Hundredths), or 1000x (Thousandths).
- Count the Particles: Count the highlighted sections or particles.
- Enter the Value: Type the correct decimal value into the computer (e.g., 0.007).
- Verify: Submit your reading to see if it matches the sample!
