Loop Card Game - Adding and Subtracting large numbers and decimals Set 1

The Loop Card Game is an engaging educational activity designed for Year 6 students to practice adding and subtracting large numbers and decimals. This Set 1 from KS2Gems offers a variety of numerical challenges that help to reinforce arithmetic skills. Each card presents a mathematical problem, such as "4.9 + 3.83" or "3007 - 1005", with the answer provided on another card in the set. For example, the answer to the first problem, which is "8.73", would be the starting point of another problem on a different card. This creates a continuous loop of questions and answers that encourages students to solve each equation in turn.

The game covers a range of calculations, from simple decimal additions like "6.414 - 0.78" resulting in "5.634", to more complex subtractions involving large numbers such as "51,239 - 12,401" which equals "38,838". The loop format of the cards ensures that students remain engaged as they work through the series, finding the subsequent question that corresponds to their current answer. This interactive method of learning not only helps to solidify their understanding of addition and subtraction but also enhances their ability to work with both whole numbers and decimals. The Loop Card Game by KS2Gems is an excellent tool for making maths practice enjoyable and effective for upper Key Stage 2 pupils.
