I already mentioned that I have found it extremely difficult to keep up a blog and start a new grade level. So, this is actually a post I began towards the beginning of the year. My kids really enjoyed this game, and occasionally still reference it. Race to Zero really seemed to help them visualize what happens during subtraction.
(Previous Post) We have been working in my classroom with subtraction, particularly with the idea of borrowing. For some of them this idea was pretty tricky. I found an idea online about a game called Race to 100 and figured we could easily do the opposite and Race to Zero. I am sure that there are already versions of this game being played, but I thought I would share what I created to go with the game.
If you click here you will be directed to the game directions and recording sheet.
Happy racing!

In this game, students use base 10 blocks to model subtraction and the regrouping process. As their knowledge of subtraction grew, we increased the starting value to 200 or 300. (This version did take quite some time though!)
