Loop Card Game - Rounding to the nearest 10, 100 or 1000

The Loop Card Game is an engaging educational resource designed to help Year 4 students practice and master the concept of rounding numbers to the nearest 10, 100, or 1000. The game consists of a series of cards, each presenting a rounding question followed by an answer to a different question. For instance, a card might ask what 1956 is when rounded to the nearest 100, with the answer being 1900. Another card in the sequence would ask what 3978 is when rounded to the nearest 10, with the correct answer being 3980. This pattern continues, creating a loop of questions and answers that challenge students to apply their knowledge of rounding rules in a fun and interactive way.

The game is versatile, with sets of cards tailored to rounding to different place values. One set might focus exclusively on rounding to the nearest 1000, with questions such as rounding 15,987 to the nearest 10, resulting in 15,990, or rounding 1012 to the nearest 1000, with the answer being 1000. Another card might ask what 19,999 is when rounded to the nearest 100, to which the answer is an even 20,000. Each card's question seamlessly leads to the next, encouraging students to think ahead and anticipate the rounding of various numbers. This educational tool is designed to reinforce mathematical concepts in a collaborative and stimulating environment, promoting both individual learning and group interaction.
