Loop Card Game - Add or Subtract 1 digit, 10s, 100s
Maths Resource Description
The Loop Card Game is an engaging and educational resource designed to help Year 3 students practice their arithmetic skills, specifically adding or subtracting 1-digit numbers, tens, and hundreds from 3-digit numbers. Each card in the game presents a calculation that leads to an answer, which then connects to the next card's calculation in a continuous loop. For instance, a card displaying "907" would lead to "748 + 1", the answer to which, "749", is found at the top of the subsequent card. This pattern continues with various calculations such as "617 - 500" resulting in "117", and "249 + 3" yielding "252".
The game is designed to reinforce mental math strategies and to encourage quick thinking, as students must identify the correct operation and execute it to find the next card in the sequence. The cards cover a variety of calculations, including "215 + 700" leading to "915", and "379 + 6" resulting in "385". The loop format ensures that the game can continue indefinitely or until all cards have been used, making it a versatile tool for both individual practice and group activities in the classroom. The Loop Card Game by KS2Gems is an effective way to build confidence and proficiency in handling basic arithmetic operations with larger numbers.
