This is my simple version of bingo which involves everyone having the same board! They only highlight 4 or 5 of the squares and then get that number of counters. There is a mixture of questions and subtraction vocab such as minus, less, decrease and take away. You give clues by giving the answer to one of the questions or e.g. 'this is the subtraction symbol&'. The first one to have 5 counters on their board is the winner. This is a great way to teach children subtraction vocabulary and can be used as a starter or in the plenary.

Two Carroll diagrams to sort numbers on to. The easier one is 5 times table/not 5 times table even/not even and the second one is the same but this time it is the 6 times table.

If you have different abilities you could adapt it to the 2 times table for example. Please leave feedback!
