The Loop Card Game "Add 10s" is an engaging and educational activity designed to help Year 3 students practice and reinforce their addition skills with multiples of ten. Each card in the game presents a three-digit number followed by an addition problem that requires adding a multiple of ten to the original number. For example, a card may display the number 478 with the problem "+ 10", to which the answer would be 488. The game is structured in a loop format, meaning that each card connects to the next through a sequence of calculations, creating a continuous cycle of questions and answers.

As students progress through the game, they encounter a variety of addition problems that challenge them to add increments of 10, 20, 30, and so on, up to 90. The game is designed to promote mental arithmetic and fluency in addition, as students must quickly calculate the sums and find the card with the corresponding answer to continue the loop. For instance, a card with the number 197 followed by "+ 20" would lead to an answer of 291, and the next card in the loop would start with 291. This interactive game is a fun way for children to practice their maths skills and is a testament to the creative resources developed by KS2Gems to support numeracy education in Key Stage 2.
