Loop Card Game - Adding two numbers with 2 decimal places
Maths Resource Description
The Loop Card Game is an engaging educational activity designed to help Year 5 students practice and enhance their skills in adding two numbers with two decimal places. This card game consists of a set of cards, each featuring a mathematical addition problem and its corresponding answer. The objective is for students to find the card that continues the sequence by matching the answer from one card to the new addition problem on another card, thus creating a 'loop' of correct answers.
Each card in the game presents a unique challenge, with numbers ranging from single-digit to multi-digit figures, all requiring precision in adding two decimal places. For example, one card may show '4.91 + 3.03', and the answer '7.94' would be found on the top of another card, which would then present a new addition problem, such as '3.07 + 1.05'. The game continues in this manner, with the sequence of cards forming a loop that concludes once all cards have been correctly matched. This hands-on game not only reinforces mathematical concepts but also encourages collaborative learning and problem-solving among students.
