Use these fun Halloween themed subtraction worksheets as an early finishing activity, or to practice subtraction of numbers up to 20.
Activities are self correcting, as students are able to compare their finished products to see if they get the same result.
Why not check out the addition bundle too,
How to use this resource
These fun mats can be laminated and used to match the animals of the students choosing to go and live in the trees.
As laminated sheets students can use them to put matching playdough apples etc in the trees, trace over the letters and match counters or playdough in the ten frames provided.
With larger numbers, students can use these as a dice game and see who can fill their tree first with the exact number shown on the mat. If you are looking at the number 8 and the child throws a 2, then they know they will need to throw a 6 or any combination that adds to 6 to complete their tree. If they throw a number that is too big, then they miss a turn.
These mats can be used as part of group rotations with students filling all sets of cards as an activity.
Suitable for pre-school or early kindergarten students.

What people are saying about this resource
“I have a cluster classroom so this ws great. I put it on Goggle classroom, and let my students use it when they had free time. It was very engaging, and fun.”
“We’ve been using these as warm up questions. They love that it isn’t directly “math” (equations) and I love that they get really into solving these and getting their brains thinking outside of the box! Thank you!”
“I use these for early finishers. They enjoy solving the puzzles. They are practicing but do not feel they are doing extra work.”
“Great Morning discussion or showing it during transition and discuss and they are lining up or when they are getting ready to go home at the end of the day. My students will stop doing what they are doing and they will listen to the question and hate when someone answer without raising their hands.”

WHY Number Talks?
Encourage students to discuss their answers with their peers.
How did they reach the answer?
What were they thinking in their head?
What facts did they already know that helped them?
What did they see?
Number talks will get your students engaged in meaningful mathematical conversations that will increase their ability to reason mathematically as well as develop their computational fluency skills and their ability to think flexibly about numbers.
When students engage in this short daily activity, they communicate with their peers in a safe environment where it’s okay to not be right all the time. It’s okay to learn from each other. They learn to discuss various strategies and the effectiveness of those strategies. They begin to take risks.
