HI - FIVE

HI - FIVE is a Kindergarten subtraction card game for differences up to 5. Partners choose cards, give a high five while holding them, and then subtract the lower face-up value from the higher value when the cards land. The physical routine keeps turns playful while giving students repeated opportunities to compare small numbers and find a simple difference.

Use it for partner practice after students have begun representing subtraction with small quantities. Because students record answers and have them checked, the game can reinforce both the action of “take away” and the written result.
