The Loop Card Game is an engaging educational activity designed to help Year 4 students practice and reinforce their skills in doubling 4-digit numbers. In this game, each card presents a 4-digit number alongside the instruction to double it. For example, one card might display the number 5,560 with the directive "Double 5,560," and the answer, 11,120, would be found on the top of another card in the set. This creates a dynamic chain of doubling tasks where the answer to one card leads to the question on the next, forming a continuous loop when the sequence is completed correctly.

Students are challenged to work through a series of numbers, such as doubling 1,837 to get 3,674, or doubling 9,999 to reach 19,998. The game is designed to not only improve mental arithmetic skills but also to enhance students' number sense and their ability to process mathematical operations quickly. With a variety of numbers ranging from simpler ones like doubling 2,000 to get 4,000, to more complex figures such as doubling 7,431 to achieve 14,862, the Loop Card Game caters to a range of abilities and provides a fun and interactive way for children to practice their doubling skills.
