Loop Card Game - Add 1 digit
Maths Resource Description
The Loop Card Game by KS2Gems is an engaging educational activity designed for Year 3 students to practice addition of one-digit numbers to three-digit numbers. The game consists of a series of cards, each displaying a three-digit number followed by a one-digit number that needs to be added. The sum of this addition is presented on the next card, creating a loop of consecutive calculations. For example, one card may display "478 + 1" and the following card will show the answer "479", which is then used as the starting point for the next addition problem. This sequence continues, providing a fun and interactive way for children to reinforce their arithmetic skills.
The loop cards cover a variety of addition problems, ensuring that students are exposed to a wide range of sums within the 3-digit plus 1-digit format. This helps to build their mental math abilities and number fluency. Each card's design is straightforward, with clear, bold numbers that make it easy for young learners to focus on the task at hand. The game is perfect for individual practice, small group activities, or whole class sessions, promoting both independent learning and collaborative problem-solving. By turning the process of learning addition into a game, KS2Gems provides an enjoyable and effective tool for improving students' mathematical proficiency.
