Loop Card Game - Finding 100 more or less

The Loop Card Game is an engaging educational activity designed for Year 3 students to practice their number sense by finding 100 more or 100 less than given numbers. Each card presents a simple numerical question that requires the student to either add or subtract 100 from the number displayed. For example, a card may ask "What is 100 more than 490?", with the answer being 590. Another card might challenge students with "What is 100 less than 199?", to which the correct response would be 99. The game is a fun way to reinforce mental arithmetic skills and understanding of place value.

The versatility of the Loop Card Game ensures that it can be adapted to various learning environments, whether it's individual practice, small group activities, or whole class sessions. The cards cover a wide range of starting numbers, from lower values such as "What is 100 more than 61?" (answer: 161) to higher values like "What is 100 less than 811?" (answer: 711). The game not only boosts students' confidence in handling larger numbers but also enhances their ability to perform quick calculations. The repetitive nature of the questions helps solidify the concept of adding and subtracting hundreds, which is a fundamental skill in the mathematics curriculum for Year 3 students.
