INTO THE VASE

INTO THE VASE is a Grade 2 subtraction matching activity focused on subtracting zero or subtracting the entire amount. Students work through a sequence of game boards, connecting each subtraction expression on a flower to the matching difference shown on a vase. The visual matching format reinforces the special patterns that occur when zero or the whole quantity is subtracted.

Use it for partner review when students need quick practice with subtraction identities and basic facts. Because students exchange completed boards for checking, the activity also gives them a chance to verify whether each flower is connected to the correct vase.
