Loop Card Game - Mixed operations set 2
Maths Resource Description
The Loop Card Game – Mixed operations set 2 is an educational resource created by KS2Gems in 2021, designed to help Year 6 students practice and reinforce their arithmetic skills through engaging activities. The game comprises a series of cards, each featuring a mathematical problem that requires the application of mixed operations, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and the use of exponents (squared and cubed numbers). The problems are crafted to challenge students' understanding of the order of operations and to provide a fun way to develop their numerical fluency.
Each card in the set presents a calculation that, when solved, leads to the number on the next card, creating a continuous loop of questions and answers. For example, one card might display the problem "(12 + 8) - 19", with the answer being "1", which corresponds to the next card in the sequence. Other examples include operations such as "(5 x 4) x 100" resulting in "2000", or more complex expressions like "8² + 10 - 3" leading to the answer "57". This interactive game not only helps students practice their arithmetic but also encourages them to think critically and make quick mathematical connections. Loop Cards are a versatile tool that can be used in a classroom setting, group work, or for individual practice to enhance students' mathematical competence.
