Loop Card Game - Add or Subtract 100s
Maths Resource Description
The Loop Card Game is an engaging and educational activity designed to help Year 3 students practice adding or subtracting hundreds to and from three-digit numbers. Each card in the set displays a number and a mathematical operation, either adding or subtracting a multiple of one hundred. For example, one card might show '748 + 100', with the answer '848' on the next card. The game is played by linking cards together in a loop, where each answer leads to the next question. This continuous sequence of calculations encourages quick mental arithmetic and reinforces the concept of place value.
The game includes a variety of calculations to challenge students, such as '617 - 500' resulting in '117', or '215 + 700' leading to '915'. The cards are carefully designed to form a complete loop, ensuring that the final answer on the last card correctly connects back to the first card in the series. This interactive game is an excellent tool for teachers to use in the classroom to make learning about addition and subtraction of hundreds exciting and dynamic. The Loop Card Game promotes active participation, collaborative learning, and helps students to gain confidence in their mathematical abilities.
