This game allows students to practise subtracting two-digit numbers, including problems with and without regrouping. It is best played within groups of 2-3 students.
How to Play Our Subtraction Game
- Choose a Game Version: Each group of players should use the same game board version.
- Set Up the Cards: Place the subtraction cards (matching the chosen game board version) face down in a pile in the centre.
- Playing a Turn: The first player flips over the top card and solves the subtraction problem. If the answer matches a number on their game board, they write the equation next to that number.
- If there’s no match, they may use the ‘Free Number’ space at the bottom of their score sheet—but this space can only be used once.
- Next Player’s Turn: After finishing, the player puts the card back at the bottom of the pile. The next player then takes their turn, flipping a new card and looking for a match. If they can’t find a match and have already used their ‘Free Number’ space, they put an ‘X’ next to one of the numbers on their board, marking it as unavailable.
- Winning the Game: When all cards are drawn, the player who filled in the most numbers on their score sheet wins!
