This week we have started to learn about Taking Away! Here are some of the boys taking part in a selection of subtraction activities.

 

A “Jump Back” game.

Only carriages with the correct answers can be stuck onto the train!

The Bus Game – Start with a full bus, roll a dice and take some people away.

Using dice to make a take away sum.

Playing “The Bug Game”. Put some bugs on a leaf and then take some away.

Completing subtraction sums on the computer.

Using cubes to calculate the answers.

Any extra practical “Taking Away” you can do at home would be great. You  might like to have a look at these websites
