Loop Card Game - Halving multiples of 10 and 100

The Loop Card Game is an engaging educational activity designed to help Year 3 students practice halving multiples of 10 and 100. This interactive game presents a series of cards, each displaying a number and the task of finding half of that number. For instance, one card may show the number 290 with the challenge to calculate half of it, which is 145. The game includes a variety of numbers, ensuring students encounter a range of multiples to halve, such as half of 100 being 50, half of 900 being 450, and half of 700 being 350. Through this repetitive and fun method, children reinforce their understanding of halving and develop fluency with numbers in a playful context.

Each set of Loop Cards is carefully tailored to the Year 3 curriculum, focusing on halving multiples of 10 and 100. The game features diverse numbers to challenge the students, such as half of 80 resulting in 40, half of 440 yielding 220, and half of 1000 being 500. The game's design encourages students to connect the cards in a 'loop' by solving the halving problems, which promotes active participation and collaboration among peers. By engaging with these cards, students enhance their mental arithmetic skills and gain confidence in working with numbers, an essential foundation for their mathematical education.
