Subtraction from 5 10 12 & 20 - 4 fun Maths Activities for KS1

Are you looking for summer subtraction from 5, 10, 12 & 20 fun games for Key Stage 1? These Roll and Subtract activities will engage your students as they practice their subtraction fact fluency, which is an important mathematical skill. The games will help to memorise and recall maths facts easily and quickly. Taking away, or subtracting will be something they will find fun to do as they race to get the most kites.

The games are for students to play in pairs. Use them as part of a subtraction lesson to practice these skills or a stand-alone activity for students who need extra practice with subtraction and prefer to play games rather than do lots of maths sheets. Checking that their friends have got the correct answer means that they have instant feedback if they have the answer right and if they disagree they can work it out together.

Provide manipulatives such as counters or Numicon or a 10 frame to support learning or encourage students to use their mental maths strategies to work out and find the answers. Use small whiteboards if necessary to illustrate how they arrived at the answers. Sharing and discussing these with their partners will lead to verbalising what they are doing which will add to their learning experience.
Have an adult play with a student in a 1 to 1 scenario to discuss and explain how to subtract and strategies on how to do this so that this becomes clearer – e.g. if subtracting from 5 model using their fingers, if taking away from 10 remind them of number bonds to 10, if subtracting from 12 remind them that they can split the number they are subtracting into 2 and other number so go back 2 to 10 and then subtract the other number etc.
