About This Activity

This significant figures looping cards activity was the first of 5 activities I prepared for a set of significant figures stations.

I found these looping cards online on TES (link no longer active).  I changed the font, edited the table so each card would be the exact same size, and modified the wording of a few of the questions.

Even with the written instructions, my students had trouble getting started with this station.  With most groups, once I showed them how to figure out the first couple of cards they seemed to catch on quickly.
