Loop Card Game - Find 1000 more or less Set 2
Maths Resource Description
The Loop Card Game "Find 1000 more or less Set 2" is an engaging educational activity designed to help Year 4 students enhance their numerical fluency. This game, created by KS2Gems in 2021, prompts children to practice mental calculations by determining what number is either 1000 more or 1000 less than a given number. For example, when presented with the question "What is 1000 more than 4661?" the answer is "5661". Similarly, if asked "What is 1000 less than 9999?" the correct response is "8999". The game includes a variety of numbers to work with, ensuring a comprehensive exercise in adding or subtracting 1000.
This set of loop cards contains a series of questions that are answered in a domino-like fashion, where each card's answer leads to the next question. It's a fun and interactive way for students to practice their understanding of place value and number sequences. For instance, "What is 1000 less than 6002?" would be followed by the answer "5002", and then the subsequent question might be "What is 1000 more than 2549?", with the answer being "3549". The game is designed to be both challenging and rewarding, as students build confidence in their ability to quickly calculate numbers that are larger or smaller by 1000, which is a key skill in the mathematics curriculum.
