Loop Card Game - Subtracting two numbers with 2 decimal places
Maths Resource Description
The Loop Card Game designed by KS2Gems is an engaging educational activity aimed at Year 5 students to practice and improve their skills in subtracting two numbers with two decimal places. The game consists of a series of cards, each displaying a subtraction problem at the top and a solution to a different problem at the bottom. The objective is for students to create a continuous loop by matching each answer with a corresponding question on another card. For example, a card may present the problem '4.91 - 3.03' with the answer '1.88' printed below it. The answer '1.88' would then lead to the next card with a problem that results in '1.88' when solved.
These loop cards are designed to be both fun and educational, providing a hands-on way for students to reinforce their understanding of decimal subtraction. Each card presents a unique challenge, such as '10.61 - 3.79', and the answer on a different card, which in this case would be '6.82'. By playing the game, students become more familiar with the concept of subtracting numbers with two decimal places, improving their mental arithmetic and problem-solving abilities. The game can be played individually or in small groups, making it a versatile tool for classroom learning. With a variety of subtraction problems ranging from simple to more complex, the Loop Card Game is a valuable resource for helping students to consolidate their mathematical knowledge and increase their confidence in handling decimals.
