About This Practice

How big is a hectare? A square with 100 m sides — about one big playground. And a square kilometer? Cut the 1 km square into a 10×10 grid and every cell is one hectare, so 1 km² = 100 hectares. Build the size sense with the nested grid, then lock it in with conversion practice.

One square kilometer drawn as a 10×10 nested grid where every cell is one hectare (a 100 m × 100 m square), with a playground inside for scale. After the size comparison, practice random unit conversions with instant right-or-wrong feedback.

How to Play

  1. Look at the big square: 1 km on each side, area 1 km².
  2. Count the grid: 10×10 = 100 cells, each one a hectare.
  3. Look at the highlighted cell: 100 m × 100 m, with a playground inside.
  4. Remember the rate: 1 km² = 100 ha.
  5. Try the conversion practice, check the feedback, tap New Problem to continue.
