Loop Around Game  


This looparound game meets the fourth grade math standards in the areas of number sense, algebra and geometry.  It would be useful as a review activity, once all of the concepts in the game have been covered.  It could even be used in fifth grade classrooms  for beginning of the year review.

Directions:  There are 20 cards in each set.  Students in excess of 20 can either share a neighbor's card and work together, or sit the round out.  Hand out the cards and choose a student to start the game.  Once you get started, the game runs itself.  The person who posed the first question will have the last answer.  The math is intended to be done mentally, but if the students get stuck, the teacher can write the question on the board.  Hopefully with a visual representation of the question, students will still be able to deduce the answer in their head.
