FACT: Students need more practice solving subtraction problems.
FACT: This collection has lots of subtraction problems.
FACT: Not all subtraction problems are the same: some are "take away," some are "let's compare one with another," some are "I have something and took away this, now I have this...."
This is a collection of over 200 different "Busy Bee Hive" puzzles where students practice subtraction in a context that is fun and thoughtful. That is, yes, they get lots of opportunities to do "takeaway," but they also have to do things like say, "a number minus 13 is 18; what could the number be?" or "I have 53 and I took away something, now there is 38; how much did I take away?"
There are 10 pages of "basic puzzles, 4 per page, for a total of 40 "basic" puzzles, each with 3 subtraction problems, so it's 120 problems. There are 40 pages of "advanced" puzzles, with 4 problems per page, so there are 160 problem x 3 problems per puzzle = 480 total problems. So there are 600 different subtraction problems!
These are "basic" level problems, which means that they are suitable for practice with 1st, 2nd graders and 3rd graders; there are double digit minuends and subtrahends.
