To subtract three-digit numbers

SPIN AND SUBTRACT is a Grade 2 subtraction game for three-digit numbers. Students select an unanswered problem on the current board, spin to generate the missing subtrahend, and then complete the subtraction. A correct difference earns the player the matching heart, so every turn combines a random value with a full three-digit subtraction problem.

Use it for small-group practice when students are ready to subtract larger numbers and need repeated problems without a fixed worksheet sequence. Colored hearts make each successful solution visible and give students a reason to check regrouping carefully.
