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

The Loop Card Game for Year 4 students is an engaging and educational activity designed to strengthen their arithmetic skills, specifically in adding and subtracting tens and hundreds to four-digit numbers. Each card in the set presents a number challenge that seamlessly connects to the next, creating a continuous loop of mathematical problems. For instance, a card displaying the number 1863 leads to another card that instructs the addition of 700, resulting in 2563, which then connects to a card requiring a subtraction of 40, and so on.

These loop cards are a fun way to practice mental maths and promote quick thinking. As students work through the series, they encounter a variety of problems such as "1478 + 700" or "4597 - 200", requiring them to perform simple calculations to find the next card in the sequence. The game includes a diverse set of numbers and operations to ensure a comprehensive practice session. For example, students might add 50 to 3779 to get 3829, or subtract 900 from 7107 to find 6207, constantly applying their knowledge of place value and number operations. The loop continues until all cards connect back to the starting point, creating a satisfying and educational experience that reinforces the key maths concepts for Year 4 students.
