CHOOSE NUMBERS

subtraction · subtraction and differences

To choose numbers with a particular difference [4.NBT.B.4].

CHOOSE NUMBERS is a Grade 4 subtraction game about finding pairs of numbers with a required difference. Students move through a set of game boards, spin to select a subtraction sentence, and choose two numbers that make the statement true. Working backward from the difference makes the task more flexible than simply calculating a given subtraction problem.

Use it for partner work when you want students thinking about subtraction relationships and missing values. Ask whether more than one pair could satisfy a target difference and how students checked their choice.
