Loop Card game - Multiply 3 numbers
Maths Resource Description
The Loop Card game designed for Year 5 students is an engaging and educational activity that helps reinforce multiplication skills by having students multiply three numbers. Each card in the set presents a multiplication challenge, with three numbers that need to be multiplied together to find the product. For example, one card might display the numbers 3 x 3 x 3, and the answer, in this case, would be 27. The game is a fun way for students to practice their times tables and improve their mental arithmetic. Cards are designed to be used in sequence, where the answer to one card leads to the next multiplication problem, creating a 'loop' of continuous practice.
The game includes a variety of multiplication combinations, ranging from simpler calculations like 1 x 1 x 1, which equals 1, to more complex ones such as 9 x 8 x 3, with an answer of 216. This variety ensures that students are challenged at different levels of difficulty, catering to a range of abilities within the classroom. The Loop Card game is not only a tool for individual practice but can also be used in group settings to encourage collaboration and communication among students. By engaging with the game, students can develop a deeper understanding of number relationships and enhance their problem-solving skills, all while enjoying a playful learning experience.
