How It Works

20 linked question cards per activity
Each card's answer leads to the next card, forming a continuous loop
Every card includes a letter — correct answers complete the loop, incorrect answers create dead ends

Formats

Treasure Hunts: Print as A4 posters and place around the classroom
Loop Cards: Smaller cards for desk-based group or solo work

Settlers

A self-checking activity designed to get students settled quickly while practising key skills. Pupils answer questions and shade their answers on the grid. The sum of the remaining unshaded values should equal the target number stated for that resource.

How It Works

20 questions per activity
Pupils shade in each answer on the grid as they work
If an answer isn't on the grid, an error has been made, prompting pupils to check their method
After all questions are completed, 5 unshaded values remain

The Target Number

The final task is to add the 5 unshaded numbers or expressions
This total creates the target number for the settler

What's Included

20-question settler grids
Built-in self-checking through the grid structure

How It Works

Print and cut a Mathsloops card set
Pupils select any card as a starting point and answer the question
They find the next card that shows their answer and solve the new question
Pupils record answers and card order on the pupil answer sheet as they work
The process continues until all cards have been completed
