Today we practiced our subtraction skills with a new game called Race to 0. The goal of this game is to try and get from 100 to 0 first. All you need is a dice, pencil and paper!
Try it at home!
We are working on the Think Addition to do Subtraction strategy right now.
How to use this strategy:
1. Look at the numbers in the ones place and look at the BOTTOM number. Is it smaller or bigger that the number above?
2. If smaller then think "how many more do I need to add to get to the bigger number?"
If bigger, then look at the whole number at the top and think "how many do I need to count back to get the to smaller number?"
3. Make sure you line up the numbers using place value!
