Loop Card Game - Halving 3 digit numbers

The Loop Card Game designed for Year 4 students is a fun and educational activity that focuses on halving three-digit numbers. This engaging game comprises a series of cards, each displaying a three-digit number followed by its half. For example, one card might show the number 419, and the corresponding half would be written on another card as 209.5. The game includes a variety of numbers, ensuring that students encounter a range of halving problems. Some cards present straightforward halves such as "Half of 564" which is 282, while others challenge students with numbers that result in decimal halves like "Half of 439" which is 219.5.

Each set of loop cards contains a sequence of halving tasks that encourage students to practice their division skills and reinforce their understanding of fractions. The game is designed to be self-checking, as the answer to one card leads to the next question. For instance, the answer "Half of 862" is 431, and this answer will be found on a separate card that also presents the next halving challenge. The game covers a wide range of numbers, from halving 208 to get 104, to more complex numbers such as halving 984 to find 492. The loop card format ensures that the game can continue seamlessly, providing a continuous cycle of halving exercises that are both educational and entertaining for Year 4 students.
