RACE TO 18 SUBTRACTION
mixed operations · adding three die rolls, subtracting a fourth, and identifying odd or even results
To add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies, to identify numbers as even or odd
RACE TO 18 SUBTRACTION is a Grade 2 mixed-operations dice game. Students add the first three rolls mentally, subtract a fourth roll, and then decide whether the result is odd or even to determine movement on the board. The sequence requires students to hold an intermediate sum, adjust it with subtraction, and classify the final result.
Use it in a small group when students are working on addition and subtraction within 20 and need mental-math practice that changes operation mid-turn. Ask students to state the intermediate sum before subtracting. Create a free Find a Math Game account to generate teacher-ready lesson support for RACE TO 18 SUBTRACTION.
