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 Numicon or Dienes or a 100 square and number line 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 to arrive at the answers. Discussing strategies and explaining what they are doing 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 e.g. if taking away 9 then take away 10 and add 1 etc., taking away the 10s first and then the ones (or units) or vice versa and any other strategies that may be helpful. Here is what you will get: Subtraction game - using 1 die – taking away from 100 Challenge subtraction game – using 2 dice - taking away from 100 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 attractive if you laminate and store them with other games in your maths centre These games are perfect for lessons, extra subtraction practice, homework, supply teaching, home education or homes education.
