Addition and Subtraction Loop Cards

Three sets of loop cards. One with just addition questions, one with just subtraction and one with a mixture of addition and subtraction. The cards have been designed so that if you print them double sided that the backs of the cards should line up with the fronts. I have laminated the sets that I use so they last a bit longer.

There are 36 cards in the pack so they can be used with large classes. With smaller classes students can be given more than 1 card.

I usually use this as a starter or plenary activity. I hand out all the cards randomly and find out who has the start card (it is marked as the start card). They read out the question on the card and the person with the answer reads the answer from their card and the question on their card. This continues until the final card is reached. I usually time how long it takes to complete the game to add a competitive element.
