Loop Card Game - Doubling 2 and 3 digit numbers

The Loop Card Game is an engaging and educational activity designed to help Year 3 students practice the skill of doubling two and three-digit numbers. The game consists of a series of cards, each featuring a number and the instruction to 'Double' it. For example, one card might show the number 594 with the task to double it, leading to the answer which is found on the next card, 1188. This pattern continues with a sequence of numbers such as 99, which when doubled becomes 198, and then doubling 35 to get 70, and so on. The objective of the game is to create a continuous loop of correct answers, enhancing mental arithmetic skills and reinforcing the concept of multiplication by two.

The game includes a variety of numbers, ranging from smaller two-digit numbers like 27, which doubles to 54, to larger three-digit numbers such as 251, which doubles to 502. By doubling numbers like 107 to get 214, or 415 to achieve 830, students become more confident and proficient in handling larger values. The loop cards serve as both a learning tool and a fun activity, with the added challenge of connecting the end of the loop back to the beginning, thereby ensuring that all cards have been used correctly. The game is a creative and interactive way to help students solidify their understanding of doubling and to apply their knowledge in a practical and enjoyable manner.
