Roll and Subtract

1.OA.6
Module 4 Lesson 3

Students partner up to play this game. Both players have a game board.  Player 1 will draw cards from two stacks of cards.  They will match the amount from the larger number to their game board.  They will cross out the amount from the smaller card and write the subtraction sentence.  Player 2 will do the same.  If a player draws a number they have already played, they lose that turn. The first player to complete all subtractions sentences is the winner.
