Loop Card Game - Adding and Subtracting two decimal numbers

The Loop Card Game for Year 5 students is an engaging and educational activity designed to enhance their arithmetic skills, specifically in adding and subtracting two decimal numbers. The game consists of a series of cards, each displaying a mathematical equation involving either the addition or subtraction of decimals. For example, one card might show "4.9 + 3.03" and the answer on a separate card would be "7.93". The objective is for students to match each equation with the correct answer, forming a continuous loop of cards that connect in sequence from question to answer.

Each card in the Loop Card Game presents a unique challenge, with varying levels of difficulty to ensure that all students can participate and improve their numerical proficiency. The equations range from simpler additions such as "1.67 + 0.2" resulting in "1.87", to more complex subtractions like "76.52 - 76.46" which equals "0.06". This game not only reinforces the concept of decimal place value but also encourages quick mental calculation, as students must accurately add or subtract numbers with up to two decimal places. The Loop Card Game is an excellent tool for making the learning of decimals both fun and interactive.
