We needed to review some basic subtraction. I made it even more fun by using fun subtraction activities just perfect for the Valentine’s Day season.
Subtraction Hearts is subtraction practice for numbers 25 and less. It includes more than 60 pages of practice including the following games and activities:
I’d say my son’s favorite activity this time around was probably the True or False equations. What could be more fun than pretending to eat chocolates and candies?
Have you used the game "I Have, Who Has" before? In a classroom, the idea is for each student to have one of the cards. Then, the first student reads the question (the bottom portion of the card). Whomever has the answer, says the top phrase, ” I Have….!” Then asks their question at the bottom of the card. All the students have to pay close attention so they won’t make the class wait while the one asking repeats the “Who Has?” question!
For our homeschool classroom, the "I Have, Who Has?" game becomes a puzzle as we try to put the cards in the proper order. I made the subtraction cards in my game go in a circle so we could start at any point. I personally think these are so much fun!
We had a lot of fun reviewing subtraction! Since this was an activity for subtraction less than 25, it rather easy for my son. The variety of activities included helped make the review fun for him.

At any rate, I’ve always disliked it. I remember the reason too: multiplication. The
