Loop Card Game - Find 10 more or less
Maths Resource Description
The Loop Card Game is a fun and educational activity designed to help Year 3 students improve their numerical fluency by finding 10 more or 10 less than a given number. Each card presents a simple mathematical question that prompts the student to either add or subtract 10 from a range of numbers. For example, a card might ask, "What is 10 more than 61?" to which the answer is 71. Another card might challenge the student with "What is 10 less than 19?", requiring the response of 9. This engaging game is a great tool for reinforcing mental arithmetic skills and number sense in a classroom setting.
As the game progresses, students encounter various numbers, some in the hundreds and others in the single digits, ensuring a comprehensive practice across the number spectrum. Questions such as "What is 10 less than 457?" with an answer of 447, or "What is 10 more than 549?" with an answer of 559, help students to quickly and accurately calculate the required adjustments to the numbers. The Loop Card Game, with its repetitive and interactive nature, provides a valuable educational resource for enhancing students' confidence in handling basic addition and subtraction problems involving the number 10.
