This math board game is a great way for students to practise column subtraction with and without carrying without them even realising that they’re learning. The game is ideal for 2 – 4 players and only needs the board, some counters, and some dice to play. They’ll roll the dice to progress along the board, landing on squares with subtraction problems that they must work out and move their counter accordingly. This pack contains times table cards 2 - 10. We love using this game for extension and filler work as well as a whole lesson activity as it’s a fun way to get students practising their column subtraction method. We have also very successfully sent it home for them to play with family and friends.
