Loop Card Game - Rounding to the nearest 100
Maths Resource Description
The Loop Card Game is an educational activity designed to help Year 4 students practice and reinforce their skills in rounding numbers to the nearest hundred. Each card in the game presents a different number and prompts the player to round it accordingly. For instance, when asked what 156 is rounded to the nearest hundred, the answer is 200. Similarly, 378 rounds to 400, and 7567 becomes 7600 when rounded to the nearest hundred. This interactive game not only aids in the understanding of rounding concepts but also offers a fun and engaging way for students to learn.
Additional cards in the set continue the rounding challenges with a variety of numbers. Numbers such as 8990 and 747 round up to 9000 and down to 700 respectively. The game also includes larger numbers, like 11,999, which rounds to 12,000, and 9997, which rounds up to 10,000. This game serves as an excellent tool for teachers to assess students' proficiency in rounding numbers and for students to develop quick mental arithmetic skills. With a series of cards that connect in a loop, the game ensures a comprehensive practice session, covering a wide range of numbers to round, from simple to more complex figures.
