Loop Card Game - Rounding to specified degrees of accuracy Set 1
Maths Resource Description
The Loop Card Game is an engaging educational activity designed for Year 6 students, which focuses on rounding numbers to specified degrees of accuracy. This particular set, created by KS2Gems in 2021, includes a series of cards that each present a rounding challenge. For example, one card asks what 379,416 rounded to the nearest 100,000 is, with the answer being 400,000. Another card prompts students to round 56.37 to the nearest whole number, which is 56. The game covers a range of scenarios including rounding whole numbers, decimal numbers to one or two decimal places, and large numbers to the nearest ten, hundred, thousand, or hundred thousand.
The Loop Card Game is designed to help students practice and reinforce their understanding of rounding numbers in a fun and interactive way. Each card in the set provides a question on one side and the answer to a different question on the other side, creating a loop when cards are arranged correctly. For example, one card might ask for 17,345 to be rounded to the nearest hundred, which is 17,300, while another card will start with 17,300 as the answer and pose a new question. The game is versatile, allowing it to be played individually or in groups, and is an excellent tool for enhancing mathematical fluency in rounding numbers to various degrees of accuracy.
