Loop Card Game - Doubling multiples of 5

The Loop Card Game is an engaging and educational activity designed to help Year 3 students practice their multiplication skills, specifically focusing on doubling multiples of 5. This card game presents a series of numbers, each followed by a prompt to double a multiple of 5. For example, one card might display the number 970 and the instruction "Double 25", leading to the next card showing the number 50, which is the result of doubling 25. The game continues in this fashion with "Double 75" leading to 150, "Double 15" leading to 30, and so on, creating a loop of interconnected doubling challenges.

The game includes a variety of doubling tasks, ranging from smaller multiples such as "Double 5" resulting in 10, to larger ones like "Double 445" yielding 890. This not only reinforces the concept of doubling but also familiarises students with multiples of 5. Each set of loop cards is carefully designed to ensure that the game can continue seamlessly, with the answer to one card's challenge serving as the starting point for the next. The Loop Card Game is a fun and interactive way for students to enhance their arithmetic skills and boost their confidence in handling multiples of 5 through doubling.
