Teaching Idea - Loop Cards

Loop Cards, sometimes called Follow Me Cards are used as a warm up maths game in my classroom. Each student is given one or more cards depending on the size of the pack. One card says start and the student with that card reads out the question.

In this case the question is 'who has 8x6?'One student will have a card that says I am 48, they answer out loud saying 'I am 48' then read the question on their card. The cards should make a loop ending up back with the first person.

Ideally you will have a set of loop cards that matches the number of students in your class. To keep students engaged you may choose to use loop cards with smaller groups giving each student 2 or 3 cards each.

You may also give students a whole set of loop cards for them to organise into a circle or line.

I have attached 11 sets of 12 loop cards for each of the timestables. Overtime I will add additional cards.
