Tic-Tac-Subtract

Tic-Tac-Subtract is a Grade 4 subtraction game for multi-digit whole numbers. Players solve subtraction problems linked to a tic-tac-toe grid and earn the right to mark a square only when the difference is correct. The game can include large values, giving students repeated practice with place-value alignment and regrouping while they also plan for three in a row.

Use it for partner work when students are subtracting multi-digit numbers and need a game alternative to a worksheet. The board encourages students to choose problems strategically rather than always solving in a fixed order.
