Loop Card Game - Doubling Multiples of 10, 100 and 1000

The Loop Card Game is an engaging educational activity designed to help Year 4 students practice and reinforce their skills in doubling multiples of 10, 100, and 1000. It comprises a set of cards, each displaying a number and its doubled value. For example, one card might show 'Double 300' on one end and the answer '600' on the other. The game is played by matching the doubled number on one card to the 'Double' prompt on another card, creating a continuous loop of correct answers. This interactive learning tool is ideal for promoting mental arithmetic and helping students to quickly recognise patterns in numbers when multiplied by two.

Each card in the set presents a different challenge, ranging from smaller multiples such as 'Double 10' resulting in '20', to larger calculations like 'Double 4160' equating to '8320'. The game is designed to cater to a variety of learning levels within the classroom, ensuring that all students can participate and improve their mathematical proficiency. The loop format of the game not only makes learning fun but also encourages students to work collaboratively as they link each card in the correct sequence. This educational resource, created by KS2Gems in 2021, is a valuable addition to any Year 4 classroom, fostering a hands-on approach to learning and solidifying the concept of doubling numbers.
