Description
Help your students build their critical thinking skills! This set of 24 task cards are designed to help students identify common mistakes when solving subtraction problems. Each task card has a subtraction problem that needs to be solved at the top. Then, the problem is solved in a way that a student might solve the problem. Each time the problem is solved, however, there is a mistake. Your students' job will be to go through, find the mistake, and then fix it.

Task Cards
Each task card has three equations on it:
- The original equation is at the top
- The equation in the middle is where the student work is and where the mistake will be shown
- The equation at the bottom is what the student believes the answer is, although it is incorrect.
Differentiation
In these task cards, you will find numbers in the following place values:
- Hundreds
- Thousands
- Ten Thousands
- Hundred Thousands
Use what your students need in order to help them solidify their understanding of subtraction.
Student Response Sheet
There are two options for student response sheets:
- Option one includes space specifically for the students to write down what the mistake was, and then another space for them to correct it. I like to use this with my students because it allows them to focus on a few problems and explaining the correct way to solve them.
- Option two is a more traditional answer sheet with numbered boxes for each task card. This works well when you want your students to work on several task cards at once.
Printing
The task cards are included in color and in black & white. Print whichever works best for you!
Answer Key
The answer key includes the correct difference along with a description of the mistake so you don't have to figure it out on your own!
These task cards are sure to build critical thinking skills with your students and help them realize how easy it is to make a simple mistake (as well as the value of checking their work!)
Looking for additional error analysis practice? Check out these other sets of task cards: Error Analysis: Multiplication and Error Analysis: Order of Operations Edition.
Great for individual practice, use in a center, or whole class review!
