Loop Card Game - Adding and Subtracting two numbers with 2 decimal places
Maths Resource Description
The Loop Card Game for Year 5 students is an engaging educational activity designed to help enhance their arithmetic skills, specifically in adding and subtracting numbers with two decimal places. Each card in the set presents a mathematical challenge that requires students to perform calculations involving decimal numbers. For instance, one card might display the number 4.48, and the students must find the card that adds or subtracts a given number to or from 4.48, resulting in the next number in the sequence. The game continues with each subsequent card linking to the previous one through a series of addition or subtraction problems until a loop is formed, returning to the starting card.
This interactive game is a fun way for students to practice their decimal number operations and to improve their mental math. The cards contain a variety of sums and differences, such as "4.91 + 3.63" or "8.54 - 3.07", challenging students to quickly and accurately compute the results. The game can be played individually or in small groups, encouraging collaboration and discussion among peers. By engaging with the Loop Card Game, students can develop a stronger grasp of decimal numbers and their place value, which is a vital skill in mathematics.
