Subtraction Safari {Teaching 2-Digit Subtraction With Regrouping}

Are you going to be teaching 2-digit subtraction with regrouping? This is a tricky concept to teach ~ but not with this unit! This is a 2 week, must-have math packet! Your students will love the cute jungle theme, too! This unit will help you to teach your students how to regroup one step at a time. By breaking the steps down and introducing them slowly you will guarantee your students' success. Then put the steps together to actually do regrouping ~ you will be so excited to see the light come on!

Week 1:
During week one you will complete a page together as guided practice. Since you are teaching a new step each day the math tubs can not cover a new skill. With this in mind I have included 5 math tubs that give the students extra practice with 2-digit subtraction without regrouping. Since the children will be completing a worksheet with you and then a math tub activity ~ I made the math tub activities shorter and they will only have 9 questions to do. You don't want them to feel overloaded.
Each math tub comes with cute, colourful question cards and a recording sheet (with black and white graphics so it copies clearly).

Math Tubs: (label cards included)
*Going On A Lion Hunt!
*Bear Crazy For Subtracting!
*Stop Monkeying Around and Subtract!
*Parrot Perfect Subtracting!
*Subtraction Stripes!

Week 2:
Now the excitement begins! Your students will feel so grown-up while they put their new skills to work. I have included a daily warm-up page with 4 questions, per day, to be done together as a group. It is good review before your students begin their math tub for the day. I have included 5 math tubs for your students to have independent practice with 2-digit subtraction with and without regrouping. All the student sheets are done in a place value chart so that your students can keep the steps better organized. I have my students highlight the ones column so they remember where to start. Each center has adorable, colourful question cards and a student response sheet.

Math Tubs: (label cards included)
*Happy Hippo Subtracting!
*Slithering Into Subtracting!
*Toucan Subtract!
*Super Subtraction Safari!

I am not fan of loose sheets so I staple together a copy of the tracking sheet and a copy of all the worksheets together to make a booklet. I record any observations I make about the child and after marking their daily work I record how they did each day. This is a great way to give your students constructive daily feedback. At the end of the week I send the booklet home for the parents. They really appreciate being kept up-to-date on their child's progress and the booklets are a great review for the end of unit test. You can always keep the tracking sheet for documentation as well.

Please have a look at the preview so that you can see everything that is included. I have done all the work for you ~ you will have an entire unit ready in no time!
I know you won't be disappointed with this unit!
