![]() Encourage them to try to get four in a row with as few rolls of the dice as possible. Just remind them that when they subtract, they have to start with the larger number.įor kids who are ready for a challenge, give them the four dice version. That works for a little while, but it probably won’t work if they are going to get 4 in a row.įor some children, the three dice version may be too hard. You may find that your chidl takes the easy way out (as did mine) by simply adding the dice instead of trying to mix up addition and subtraction. In the above example, you see just some of the answers you could get with the dice labeled 6, 2, and 4. When you get four in a row, the game is over.Dot or color the number that you made.Then add or subtract the numbers on the other dice to make a new number. We started with the three dice version, since he enjoys math. ![]() We don’t have a second grader at home, so I pulled this out to use with my first grader. Print a game board for your child and provide the dice. Since my game is for second graders, I created a game that will give kids a chance to practice addition and subtraction – with a little problem solving thrown in. This week we’re featuring games that focus on operations. It’s week two in the K-2 Math Activities Series! I’m teaming up with two other bloggers to bring you a total of three new math activities each week! See my disclosure policy for more information.This addition and subtraction activity turns learning math facts into a game! This post contains affiliate links that helps Mama’s Learning Corner produce free worksheets and printables. Now all of the pieces are in a lidded container, which makes organizing so easy. I trimmed the game boards carefully so they would fit in a plastic pencil case. It’s prettier if printed in color but if you’re like me, you hate to use the printer ink because it’s so expensive! (And if you have a good source of cheap printer ink, do tell.) Or print in ‘draft’ mode to help a little. You can print it in ‘black ink only’ and then color the little minus signs with a marker if you truly don’t want to use this much colored ink. We only needed to print one sheet, but you might need to print more if you have more than 3 playing. Print as many of the token pages at the end as you need. There are 6 different game boards (because it’s always fun to switch game boards!) to give it some variety. If they do, they put a token on the space. Red 4.” Then everyone else looks on their boards to see if they have a Red 4. He says to the other players: “Red 10-6 equals 4. To start, the first player draws an equation, states the color and answers the equation aloud.Įxample: Davis draws a red 10-6. ![]() The game is played using traditional bingo rules: To win the player must have 5 spaces in a row, either horizontally, vertically or diagonally. It is ‘ Subtraction Bingo’ after all! So the name of each column is the color+minus. Instead of using the traditional B-I-N-G-O to name the columns, I used different colors of minus signs. Just make sure you allot yourself enough time to prepare it before everyone starts itching to play. And if you’re like me and know that you’re going to use it many, many times (especially for multiple children), go ahead and laminate the pieces.įrom start to finish – laminating time included – it took me 20 minutes to print the game, laminate it and cut out the pieces. I highly recommend that you print this game out on card stock. Much to her excitement, my 4 year old won most of the games! We played it several times today and it was such a hit! It was a great game to reinforce his subtraction facts, but it was also great for my 4 year old to reinforce her colors and number recognition. ![]() Since we both love the whole ‘game’ aspect of learning, a bingo game seemed to be just the right fit. So to take some of the drudgery out of memorizing those facts, I created Subtraction Bingo for him! Math facts have always been difficult for my oldest to memorize.
