To subtract two 2-digit numbers with or without regrouping

T-BALL SUBTRACTION is a Grade 2 card game for subtracting two two-digit numbers with or without regrouping. Four pitched cards are arranged into two two-digit numbers, and players race to create a difference that matches—or comes closest to—one of the four base values. The card arrangement gives students control over the subtraction problem before they solve it.

Use it in a small group when students are practicing two-digit subtraction and estimating the size of a difference. Comparing different card arrangements can show how changing the tens or ones digit affects the result.
