Loop Card Game - Adding two numbers with 1 decimal place
Maths Resource Description
The Loop Card Game is an engaging educational activity aimed at Year 5 students to practice adding two numbers with one decimal place. Each card in the game presents a simple addition problem along with a sum, designed to help children develop their arithmetic skills and fluency with decimals. The game is structured in a way that the answer to each problem leads to the next question, creating a continuous loop of calculations. For instance, one card may display '4.9 + 3.3' with the answer '8.2' next to it, which then connects to another card that starts with '3.7 + 1.5', summing to '5.2', and so on.
The cards are arranged in a sequence where the solution on one card prompts the question on the next, ensuring that the game has a clear start and finish. With a variety of sums, such as '79.4', '12.7 + 2.4', '15.1', and '9.3 + 0.6', the cards provide a comprehensive set of examples to work through. The Loop Card Game is not only a fun way to reinforce mathematical concepts but also a tool for promoting mental math and quick thinking. The game's format is straightforward and easy to understand, making it an ideal resource for classroom learning or home practice.
