SPOT D’ DIFFERENCE

subtraction · subtracting within 10 and comparing differences

To subtract numbers up to 10

SPOT D’ DIFFERENCE is a Grade 1 subtraction card battle for differences within 10. Each player flips two cards, subtracts the smaller value from the larger, and compares the resulting difference with the other players. The highest difference wins the cards for that round, so students must calculate and compare in the same turn.

Use it for small-group subtraction practice when students are building fact fluency within 10. Ask students to say the full subtraction sentence before comparing differences so the arithmetic remains visible.
