Loop Card Game - Rounding to specified degrees of accuracy Set 2
Maths Resource Description
The Loop Card Game, specifically designed for Year 6 students, offers an engaging way to practice rounding numbers to various degrees of accuracy. Each card presents a different rounding challenge, requiring students to round numbers to the nearest whole number, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, or hundred thousand. For example, the card asking "What is 403,416 rounded to the nearest 100,000?" leads to the answer "400,000". Another card inquires "What is 46.89 rounded to the nearest whole number?" with the answer being "47". This set of cards is an excellent tool for reinforcing mathematical concepts and enhancing mental computation skills.
The game continues with a variety of rounding scenarios, such as "What is 1,102 rounded to the nearest 10?" which results in "1,100", and "What is 21,799 rounded to the nearest 10,000?" with the answer "20,000". Students are also challenged with decimal numbers, for instance, "What is 0.09 rounded to 1 decimal place?" to which the answer is "0.1". The Loop Card Game is not only a fun activity but also serves as a valuable educational resource to help students understand and apply the principles of rounding numbers effectively.
