Loop
Around is intended as a mathematical activity that gets the whole class
involved. Loop Around gives the students an opportunity to
activate their listening skills, speaking skills, and cognative skills
at the same time. This particular Loop Around was designed with
my fourth grade students in mind. It is necessary for fourth
grade students to have basic mathematical multiplication and divisions
facts down in order to be successful in other more advanced math
functions. These functions are addressed in fourth grade math
standards; 3.3 Solve problems
involving multiplication of multi-digit numbers by two digit numbers
and 3.4 Solve problems involving division of multidigit numbers by
one-digit numbers.
DIRECTIONS
1. Pass a Loop Around card to each student.
2. The student that has the "I have 10" card with the tropical
fish will start the Loop Around
3. The student will read their card aloud to the class in order to see
who will read the next card, depending on the first card's answer.
4. Students will continue reading each connecting card to the previous
read card until the Loop Around comes full circle to the first card.
