To explore true and false subtraction equations
MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL is a Grade 2 subtraction game built around deciding whether equations are true or false. Players draw one equation card at a time, inspect the subtraction sentence, and decide within a short time limit whether both sides are equal. The quick true-or-false format keeps the focus on the meaning of equality rather than only finding a difference.
Use it for partner or small-group review when students are learning to check subtraction equations and reason about the equal sign. Ask students to explain what makes a false equation incorrect instead of simply naming “false.” Create a free Find a Math Game account to generate teacher-ready lesson support for MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL.
