Loop Card Game - Rounding to the nearest whole number or 10 or 100

The Loop Card Game is an engaging educational activity designed to help Year 6 students practice and reinforce their rounding skills. The game focuses on rounding numbers to the nearest whole number, 10, or 100. Each card presents a different rounding challenge, where students must determine the rounded value of a given number. For instance, when asked to round 97.86 to the nearest whole number, the answer is 98. Similarly, rounding 156.78 to the nearest 10 results in 160, and rounding 1579.31 to the nearest 100 gives 1600. The game continues with various numbers and rounding scenarios, such as rounding 0.781 to the nearest whole number, which is 1, and rounding 26.37 to the nearest 10, which gives 30.

The Loop Card Game further includes examples like rounding 1507 to the nearest 100, resulting in 1500, and rounding 2250 to the nearest 10, which remains 2250. The game also challenges students with numbers such as 4791.3, which when rounded to the nearest 100 becomes 4800. Each card in the set is part of a continuous loop, where the answer to one question leads to the next question, hence the name Loop Card Game. The game is a fun and interactive way for students to practice rounding, and it helps to solidify their understanding of place value and number approximation. These cards, created by KS2Gems in 2021, are a valuable resource for classroom learning, aiding children in developing their mathematical rounding skills.
