Loop Card Game - Rounding to the nearest 10 or 100
Maths Resource Description
The Loop Card Game is an educational tool designed to help Year 5 students practice and reinforce their skills in rounding numbers to the nearest 10 or 100. Each card in the set presents a different number and prompts the player to round it to the specified degree of accuracy. For example, the card asking "What is 156 rounded to the nearest 100?" provides the answer as 200. Similarly, a number like 178, when rounded to the nearest 10, becomes 180. This engaging game not only makes learning fun but also enables students to quickly grasp the concept of rounding through repetitive practice.
As the game continues, students encounter a variety of numbers, each presenting a unique rounding challenge. Numbers such as 7560, when rounded to the nearest 100, result in 7600, while 8990 rounded to the nearest 10 becomes 9000. The game provides immediate feedback with the correct rounded number on each card, ensuring that students can self-check their answers as they play. With a wide range of numbers, from two-digit to five-digit figures, the Loop Card Game is a comprehensive resource that helps solidify students' understanding of rounding in a fun, interactive way.
