$0.99 or Free on Plus | 3 pages (PDF)|Grades: 1 - 2 | Starter Sheet

A fun, hands-on game students can play to consolidate their knowledge of doubles subtraction.

Use this board game when exploring doubles subtraction number facts with your students.

This game is played in pairs and the aim is to be the first player to reach the ‘Finish’ line.

How to Play

Students select a counter each and place their counters on the ‘Start’ line.
They then take turns to roll the dice or spin the spinner provided and follow the direction given.
If they move forward, they must answer the number problem that the counter lands on.
Correct answers can keep the counter in the same place. Incorrect answers move their counters back to the previous place on the game board.

An instruction page with a dice and an instruction page with a spinner are both provided with this resource.
