Loop Card Game - Adding and Subtracting two numbers with 1 decimal place

The Loop Card Game is an engaging educational activity designed for Year 5 students to practice their arithmetic skills, specifically adding and subtracting two numbers with one decimal place. This game consists of a series of cards, each displaying a mathematical operation on one side and a numerical result on the other. The objective is for students to create a loop by matching the result of one card with the operation on the next card, reinforcing their mental calculation abilities and their understanding of decimal numbers.

Each card in the game presents a unique challenge, ranging from simple additions and subtractions like "4.9 + 2.3" resulting in "7.2", to more complex calculations such as "57.3 + 0.9" which equals "58.2". The game is designed to be both educational and fun, encouraging students to work individually or in groups to complete the loop by finding the correct sequence of calculations. This hands-on approach to learning helps to build confidence in numerical operations with decimals and promotes a deeper comprehension of the relationship between addition and subtraction.
