Loop Card Game - Rounding to the nearest whole number

The Loop Card Game is an engaging educational resource designed to help Key Stage 2 students practice their rounding skills. In particular, it focuses on rounding numbers with one decimal place to the nearest whole number. The game consists of a series of cards, each posing a rounding question, followed by the answer to the previous question. For instance, one card asks "What is 97.8 rounded to the nearest whole number?" to which the answer is "98," presented on the next card. This pattern continues throughout the game, creating a loop of questions and answers that reinforce the rounding concept.

The game is suitable for different year groups, with specific sets tailored to their learning levels. For example, one set titled 'Y4 Rounding numbers with 1 dp to the nearest whole number' includes questions like "What is 55.1 rounded to the nearest whole number?" with the answer "55." Another set, 'Y6 Rounding to the nearest whole number or 10 or 100,' presents more complex challenges such as "What is 99.9 rounded to the nearest whole number?" with the correct rounding being "100." These loop cards not only make learning about rounding numbers interactive and fun but also provide a self-checking mechanism, as each card's answer sets up the next question, enabling students to work both independently and collaboratively.
