This is a great way to teach children subtraction vocabulary and can be used as a starter or in the plenary.

Two Carroll diagrams to sort numbers on to. The easier one is 5 times table/not 5 times table even/not even and the second one is the same but this time it is the 6 times table.

If you have different abilities you could adapt it to the 2 times table for example. Please leave feedback!
