Solve It! Problems Involving Larger Numbers

This fun and engaging game is a great way for students to add and subtract two- and three-digit numbers using place value to partition, rearrange and regroup numbers to assist in calculations without a calculator. 

Students work their way around the board, choosing an appropriate strategy to solve the problem and verbally explaining how they reached their answer.

  • Laminate for multiple uses
  • Laminate gameboards for a quick and effective maths rotations activity or use the black and white versions that students can decorate themselves.
