Don’t Get Stuck! Subtraction Fun:


 How many players are needed?
o Two
 Materials
o Game Board
o 1 dice
o Game Pieces
o Calculator
 How to play?
o Player one rolls the die and solves the problem they land on.
o Player two checks the answer on the calculator. If player one is correct, they may
stay on that spot.
o If the player one is wrong, they move back two spaces.
o If a player lands on a snow bank they are “stuck” and must go back to the
beginning of the board.
o Player two takes their turn, following the same steps.
o The game ends when someone reaches the finish. The first player there is the
“winner”.

Summary:
 Suggested grade level?
o 4th grade
 How this game is related to Learning Disabilities?
o This game is helpful for all students, including those with learning disabilities.
Each square is an opportunity for students to practice their subtraction skills,
including skills such as regrouping. By putting subtraction on a board game it
makes it so learning/practicing math skills is fun for students. The idea of
answering questions correctly in order to “win” the game creates a sense of
competition that kids love.
o Overall, I think this activity is a wonderful idea for all students to help them learn
math skills. The game could also be remade to so students could work on
addition, multiplication, division, or fraction problems as well.
