MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION LOOP GAME (FOLLOW ME CARDS)
Fed up with downloading Maths loop games that don’t work? I know I am, and that’s why I’ve made my own which does work! (No embarrassing calculation errors, no duplicated answers that short-circuit the loop.) It’s also 30 questions long – you’re lucky these days if you have a class of fewer than 30.
This one should suit Y5 and Y6, but would also be fine for practice / revision for weaker Y7. The focus is on multiplying and dividing numbers up to 5 digits by tens and hundreds, with a few easy ones scattered throughout for your mixed ability classes. Some doubling and halving is included.
Helpful Hints When doing a loop game with a class, run it once or twice, then time it and keep a “record time” for them to beat up on display. Then you can tell them they must all listen to every question and answer, because any mistakes will break the chain so they must intervene (politely!) if they think it’s going wrong. This helps to keep everyone engaged even when they’ve already read out their own card.
Always shuffle the cards well and give them out randomly – but employ a bit of teacher magic to make sure the less able participants get the easier answers!
Prime the children to automatically repeat their question if no-one has responded within 5 seconds. If they read it 3 times without success, ask everyone what they think the answer is.
If you have fewer than 30 pupils, selected children can be given 2 cards.
