This mixed set of rounding challenges includes questions that prompt learners to round decimals, whole numbers, and large numbers to the nearest tenth, whole number, hundred, thousand, and ten thousand. For example, players are asked to round 0.89 to the nearest tenth, resulting in 0.9, and to round 15,786 to the nearest 10,000, which gives an answer of 20,000. The game is structured in a way that each card presents a rounding question and the answer to a previous question, creating a loop of continuous play.

Further examples from the game include rounding 1.9 to the nearest whole number, which is 2, and rounding 250,000 to the nearest 100,000, resulting in 300,000. The game covers a variety of scenarios, such as rounding 5678 to the nearest hundred to get 5700, and rounding 9999 to the nearest thousand, which gives an answer of 10,000. The Loop Card Game is an effective tool to reinforce the concept of rounding in a fun and interactive format, allowing students to develop their numerical fluency and confidence with numbers.
