Subtraction Safari
A fun, engaging, low prep maths game for the classroom! Students race through repeated subtraction number sentences, recording their division equivalents. Versatile for warm-ups or fast finishers, and reusable with laminating. Promotes active learning and mathematical fluency.
Learning goals
- We are learning to recognise and represent multiplication as repeated addition, groups and arrays.
- We are learning to divide a set of objects into equal sized groups to solve simple problems.
- We are learning to recognise and represent multiplication as repeated addition, groups and arrays and to divide a set of objects into equal sized groups.
