Loop Card Game - 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10 Set 2
Maths Resource Description
The Loop Card Game is an engaging educational resource aimed at Year 3 students to help them master their times tables. The game features a series of cards, each with a multiplication question and a corresponding answer to a different question. This particular set, Set 2, focuses on the multiplication tables for 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, and 10. For example, one card might display the problem '3 x 5' and the answer '15', while the next card starts with the answer '15' and poses a new problem '8 x 4', which leads to the answer '32', and so on. The sequence continues, creating a loop of questions and answers that challenges students to recall their times tables quickly and accurately.
The game is designed to be both fun and educational, promoting fluency in multiplication through repetition and active participation. Students can play in groups or individually, starting with any card and working their way through the loop by solving each multiplication problem to find the next card in the sequence. The cards are clearly numbered and contain a variety of multiplication problems that encourage students to practise and consolidate their knowledge of the times tables covered. This interactive learning tool, created by KS2Gems in 2021, is an excellent way to build confidence and proficiency in mathematics for young learners.
