Loop Card Game - Adding and Subtracting two numbers with 3 decimal places

The Loop Card Game is an engaging mathematical activity designed for Year 6 students to practice their addition and subtraction skills with numbers containing three decimal places. Created by KS2Gems in 2021, the game consists of a series of cards, each displaying a mathematical operation involving two numbers. The objective is for students to perform precise calculations with decimals to add or subtract the numbers presented on the cards.

Each card in the Loop Card Game presents a unique challenge, with numbers carefully chosen to reinforce the concept of decimal place value. The game includes a variety of sums and differences, such as '4.915 + 3.833' or '3.007 - 1.005', ensuring that students must pay close attention to the tenths, hundredths, and thousandths places when performing their calculations. The result of each operation then leads to the next card in the sequence, creating a continuous loop of questions and answers. This format not only makes the game interactive but also provides immediate feedback on the students' understanding of decimal operations.
