RELAY
decimals · subtracting decimals
To subtract decimal numbers [5.NBT.B.7].
RELAY is a Grade 5 decimal-subtraction game designed for pairs. Each round uses a set of linked game cards, with Player 1 completing the first subtraction step and Player 2 continuing the next part after the handoff. Because the calculation passes between partners, both students depend on the accuracy of the previous step.
Use it for partner work when students are practicing decimal subtraction and careful place-value alignment. The relay structure makes checking important because one early error can affect everything that follows. Create a free Find a Math Game account to generate teacher-ready lesson support for RELAY.
