Loop Card Game - Multiplication and division fact set 2
Maths Resource Description
The Loop Card Game - Multiplication and Division Fact Set 2 is an engaging educational resource created by KS2Gems in 2021, aimed at Year 3 students to help them practice and reinforce their multiplication and division skills. The set comprises a series of cards, each displaying a mathematical equation on one side and a solution on the other. This design allows the game to be played in a loop, where the answer to one card's equation is the starting point for the next card's problem. For instance, a card with "27 ÷ 3" on one side will have "9" on the other, which then leads to the next card with an equation beginning with "9", such as "9 x 7", and so on.
Each card in the set presents a variety of multiplication or division facts that are fundamental for Year 3 students. The cards include simple calculations such as "10 x 10" resulting in "100", and "48 ÷ 4" yielding "12", as well as more challenging ones like "7 x 8" equating to "56". The game is designed to be self-correcting, as the loop will only work if students calculate each operation correctly. This makes it an ideal tool for independent learning, small group activities, or whole-class sessions. The loop format not only makes learning fun but also encourages quick recall of facts, which is essential for building a strong foundation in mathematics.
