Subtraction Attack!

I have had this blog created since 2009, but it took me 3 years to get around to actually posting on it. Chalk it up to pinterest. I keep finding all kinds of great stuff that I love adapting for my own kids. I figure I might as well share my new creations in case other people might be able to use it. Also, my husband could use the break from hearing my constant school stories. I'm on intersession right now, so we will see how this goes once school gets back in session.

Last week we started 2 and 3 digit subtraction. I thought things were going well, we were all happily changing "more on top no need to stop! more on the floor, get a ten from next door!" THEN we moved on to 3 digits. So far so good until ATTACK - those zeros in the middle. We went next door and there was nothing there!

So....I made a NEW subtraction poster, some subtraction mats ( I put them into sheet protectors and the students can work out their problems using dry or wet erase markers), and a subtraction attack game for them to practice their basic subtraction skills.

Here is a link to subtraction attack. Just print on card stock and laminate and you have a card game!

Here is the link for the subtraction mat. Just put inside a sheet protector so the kids can use dry erase with it.
