Loop Card Game - Adding and subtracting 4 digits and near multiples of 1, 10 and 100

The Loop Card Game is an engaging educational activity designed for Year 4 students to practice their skills in adding and subtracting 4-digit numbers as well as near multiples of 1, 10, and 100. Each card in the set presents a mathematical challenge that requires students to perform either an addition or a subtraction to proceed to the next card. For example, a card may display a starting number such as 3762 and then present a subtraction problem like 5671 minus 299. The solution to this problem leads to the next card in the loop, which will present its own problem to solve.

The game's structure encourages students to apply their mental arithmetic skills in a fun and interactive way, as they work through a series of calculations to create a 'loop' of answers. The cards may present a variety of problems, such as adding 71 to 2417 to find 2488, or subtracting 99 from 1956 to arrive at 1857. The objective is to use addition or subtraction to find the next number in the sequence, fostering a deeper understanding of number relationships and arithmetic operations. This educational resource, provided by KS2Gems, is a valuable tool for reinforcing mathematical concepts and enhancing problem-solving abilities among Year 4 students.
