Are you looking for summer subtraction from 1000 fun games for key stage 2 year groups? These Roll and Subtract activities will engage your students as they practice their subtraction fact fluency, which is an essential mathematical skill. The games will help to memorize and recall math 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.
Ideal 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 subtracting numbers to 1000 and prefer to play games rather than do lots of math worksheets. 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.
Playing games gives it the competitive element for students to be super engaged and try harder.
Provide manipulatives such as Numicon or Dienes and number line to support learning, or encourage students to use their mental math strategies to work out and find the answers. Use small whiteboards if necessary to illustrate how they get their answers. Sharing and discussing strategies with others will enhance 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 how to do this efficiently e.g. if taking away 99 then take away 100 and add 1 etc. Discussing methods in a game leads to thinking more clearly and fluidly in math so that students have several strategies to fall back on which will help them with mental math.

Here is what you will get:
  • Subtraction game - using 2 dice – taking away from 1000 in color and black & white
  • Challenge subtraction game – using 1 die/dice and doubling this
  • Dice and spinners to choose from for each game
  • Instructions for the games
  • Counters to cut out
  • Backs for Games to make them look more
    The games are ideal for math centres and when you have to find activities quickly for times when something unpredictable happens – e.g. wet playtime or supply lessons - or when children want to choose fun educational games to play with their friends - some call this Golden time.
    Prep is easy – Print, cut up and play. The dice will need to be folded and glued, if this takes too much time please use the spinners instead.
    The games will make students subtract faster, more accurately and become more confident with mental math strategies. Your students will love playing these games. They will make connections through a shared fun learning experience and increase their mathematical skills in the process – a win-win situation.
