Loop Card Game - Subtracting two numbers with 1 decimal place

The Loop Card Game is an engaging educational tool designed to help Year 5 students practice and refine their skills in subtracting two numbers with one decimal place. This game, created by KS2Gems in 2021, consists of a series of cards, each presenting a subtraction problem that students must solve. The cards are cleverly interconnected; the answer to one problem leads to the next, creating a continuous loop of questions and answers that reinforce students' arithmetic proficiency.

For example, a card might display the problem '4.9 - 3.3', with the answer '1.6' printed adjacent to it. This answer then serves as the starting point for the next subtraction problem on another card. The game covers a variety of subtraction scenarios, from simple calculations like '1.2 - 0.1' resulting in '1.1', to more complex ones such as '76.2 - 45.6' with the answer '30.6'. By working through these loop cards, students become more comfortable with decimal numbers and develop their mental maths skills, all while enjoying a fun and interactive learning experience.
