Loop Card Game - 4 digits adding 10s and 100s

The Loop Card Game is an engaging educational activity designed for Year 4 students to practice their addition skills, specifically adding tens and hundreds to four-digit numbers. Each card in the game presents a mini-challenge where a base number is displayed along with an additional number, either in the tens or hundreds place. The aim is to add the two numbers together to find the resulting sum. For example, starting with the number 1983, if we add 100, we arrive at 2083. The game continues in a loop fashion, where each new sum becomes the base for the next addition problem.

The game includes a variety of addition problems to solve. One card might show the number 1478 with an instruction to add 100, resulting in 1578. Another card could display the number 4597 with an addition of 200, giving a sum of 4797. The game not only reinforces mental arithmetic and the concept of place value but also provides a fun and interactive way for students to improve their number fluency. The loop card format ensures that the game can continue seamlessly, as each card links to the next through the process of addition. This set of Loop Cards is specifically tailored to adding tens and hundreds to four-digit numbers, offering a targeted approach to practicing this key mathematical skill.
